History of the Taftville Lions Club

The Taftville Lions Club was organized on June 30, 1998 after being created in “two hours of door to door interviews by PCC Angelo Miceli and PDG Frank DiStefano”. Their work resulted in 38 men and women becoming part of the greatest service organization in the world.

This club has continued to grow since its inception.The members enjoy referring to their village as “The Center of the Universe” and each month the members join forces for what has become a very lucrative fund raising event, our monthly “Pasta Suppers”. The mainstay is the monthly pasta supper, but in addition they also offer a Wreath and Cemetery Memorial Box sale, and a Wine Tasting which collectively have provided the bulk of the revenues needed to support both Lion’s charities and local needs like the local school PTO’s and the Taftville Fire Department.

The Taftville Lions have a spirit of community unmatched by many of our other clubs. Their energy is contagious and their future is bright.
