We want to attract high energy members who will do their part in helping the club reach its goals. Lions have different talents and abilities, and those assets must be recognized and channeled by the leadership to give members the greatest satisfaction from their contribution to an activity. Praise for a job well done is quickly given. Lions are always thanked and recognized at a meeting and on our website for their part in the success in the activity. Chairpersons of various projects are also recognized at the annual dinner.

As of July 2008 we are 55 members strong and growing. The true strength of our club comes from within. It starts with good leadership, and when every member contributes a good organization becomes a great one. Involvement is the key to success. When members feel they are contributing, they are needed and supported, and they are important to the success of the club, they feel good about their individual and collective efforts to serve others and Lionism is strengthened.

Here is a small sampling of what our club has done in and for our community:

• Sponsored the free Summer Concert series.

We take pride in the services we provide to our community, but we have fun, too.  Our meetings are primarily social events - a good meal, fellowship, a program of some kind, and maybe a little bit of business thrown in here and there.  Most club business is conducted at our Board of Director's meetings, which all members are welcome to attend.  Our members regularly attend Conferences, Conventions and Forums, each an opportunity to make and renew friendships and learn about Lionism.  We strongly encourage our members to visit other clubs and will usually get a group together to make such visits.  And we've been known to get together on the odd afternoon for a round of golf.

If your interest has been piqued or you'd like to know more just contact any of these club officers.  We'll be more than happy to talk to you and arrange a visit to a club meeting.  You can also download and review our Club Brochure.

For the curious, here is a list of all of our Past Presidents.
