WE SERVE
Lions are men and women working together to make our community
better for all of us. As a Lion, you can help provide your neighbors, and
the world, with eyeglasses, hearing aids, eye surgeries, kids summer camps,
reading help, student scholarships, vocational and life skills training,
disaster relief, drug and alcohol abuse prevention programs, and financial
and human assistance for many, many, other needed local and global services.
Our
motto says it all - "We Serve."
We do great
work, we make lifelong friends, and we have a lot of fun along the
way. To get to know us better, you can visit one of our meetings,
or drop in on one of our local community events. No special invitation
is needed - just introduce yourself!
Who are the Club members?
We are made up of dedicated people, just like
you! We do great work, we make lifelong friends, and we have a lot
of fun along the way. Members have a desire to be involved in community
service in Union City. You probably already know many of our members
as your friends and neighbors.
Doesn’t this take a lot of time?
Not really. The
amount of time you put into the Lions Club is up to you. No one person is
expected to do it all. The Club meets twice a month, on the second and fourth
Thursdays of each month. Generally, one meeting is scheduled at lunchtime,
and the other is in the evening. Meetings of working committees are held
as required. Time spent at meetings and on service projects should be based
upon what makes you feel comfortable while balancing your work and family
priorities.
How can I help?
As a Lion, you can help provide your neighbors,
and the world, with eyeglasses, hearing aids, eye surgeries, kids
summer camps, reading help, student scholarships,
vocational and life skills training, disaster relief, drug and alcohol
abuse prevention programs, and financial and human assistance for
many, many, other needed local and global services.
What is the next step?
To find out more about the club, just ask a Union City Lion or take a look at our "Join
Us" page. Either way you will be invited to be our guest at one of our meetings to meet us and learn more about the club.
Where does this money go?
Every dime collected by Lions fundraisers goes
directly to community services. Administrative expenses are paid
by our members, through their dues payments.
