What Lions Do
The Lions Club’s objective is to serve community needs. They are requesting input from our community on suggested projects or services that are needed in Chippewa Lake, which could be undertaken by Chippewa Lake Lions Club Foundation members. An example might be painting of street signs, park benches, etc. Please feel free to forward any of your ideas to us, and we will present them to the members at the next meeting. Better yet, feel free to join us at the next meeting.
The Chippewa Lake Lions Club foundation is part of the International Association of Lion’s Club. Eye care and research are the main functions of Lion’s International. Our local Club assists people who need help with purchasing eyeglasses. We also assist local residents who are in need due to accidents, loss of job, diasters and family care. Last Christmas we gave 80 families in the area food baskets to help them out. Our fundraisers are a Spring Plant Sale, Holiday Food Campaign and the Polar Bear Jump/Run in February. Our biggest community service is sponsoring and organizing the 4th of July Parade. Come and be a Chippewa Lake Lion.
