The Westerly Lions Club
The Westelry Lions Club is one of the older clubs in the country, over 90 years old. It is the second largest Lions club in Rhode Island, with over 100 active members. The first Lions Club started in 1917. It did not take long for those in Westerly to realize they wanted to be part of this growing movement. The Lions are your friends and neighbors volunteering to help the visually impaired as well as reaching out to those Westerly area residents who are underprivileged or in need of our help.
Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
