Lions Club International, through the Lions Foundation, has made a big impact on earthquake ravaged Haiti. LCI has provided new homes to over 600 families in Haiti along with significant aid to earthquake victims in the past year. Although we sometimes question the costs of being a Lion, it is good to know that we are part of something bigger, and that together we can make a difference we would be unable to do alone.

Club Activities for 2011. King Lion Tim brought up a list of events and possible projects for our club in 2011. Projects include repairing the doorframe on the Lions Building,
