Lions Christmas Tree Lot 2024

As of noon Tuesday December 10th we were down to only 7 trees left. The Superior team has done an amazing job of helping our Lions Club again this year with our tree lot, and we owe them a great thank you. If you have a few extra minutes over the next several days, please stop by Superior and thank them for all of their help! We could never do this without Eric and his teams at Superior and the Fire Department!

Thank you everyone!

Who We Are and What Lions Do!

Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief - to serve their community.

Lions Club International is the largest service club organization. We have over 1.35 million members in more than 45,000 clubs in more than 206 countries and geographic areas.

Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects - including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.

Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all.

Lions have extended their commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through their international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness.

Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally Lions offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest.

Lions Leo Program provides the youth of the world with an opportunity for personal development through volunteering. There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries.

Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than $700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times.

Lions help during disasters. Together, our Foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies - and aiding in long term reconstruction.

Lions are active. Our motto is " We Serve". Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities.
