The motto of every Lions Club is We
Serve. Whether helping the blind or hearing impaired...conducting
drug or diabetes awareness campaigns...providing recreational opportunities
for the handicapped...sponsoring basic research into the causes
and treatment of blindness...providing children with sports equipment
or just a place to play...or raising the funds to make it all possible,
service always comes first for a Lion. That's why Lions Clubs International
is not only the largest, but the most active service club organization
in the world.
Lions are...or
could be...someone just like you!

Lion's Golf is coming soon!
The Belvedere Golf Club will be
hosting the tourny on July 9th!!!
