BE A LION
Where There's a NEED, There's a LION
Lions are leaders. leaders in service, leaders in kindness, and leaders in our community. Where there is a need, there is a Lion willing to step up and take on the job. Our community members look to us for strength when times are tough.
Whenever a Lions club gets together, problems get smaller. And communities get better. That's because we help where help is needed – in our own communities and around the world – with unmatched integrity and energy.

Celebrating New Voices
Celebrating women’s contributions to Lions Clubs International along with its first female international president, this initiative focuses on increasing the number of women in Lions clubs, as well as closing the gap between men and women in leadership positions. We have been challenged to add at least 5 new members during the months of March and April. It is suggested that three of the five new members be women.

Merry Christmas
The Vernon Lions Club annual Christmas party on December 6.
The Treble Makers played music throughout the evening -
the Eagles. Lions Carole, Mike and Ralph once again came up with hilarious entertainment. The winners of the "12 Days of Christmas" singing contest
are pictured above (Lion Patrick and his girls know how to spread Christmas cheer by singing loud for all to hear). Lion John tossed the winning coin
early in the game and Lion Gary gave him a run for his money (actually his christmas cheer) by coming a close second.

October Vernon Lions Club fundraiser
Add a tender touch to Thanksgiving with carnations. Bursting with holiday brilliance, carnations overflow with the spirit of Thanksgiving. While it is unknown where the carnation originates from, with many speculating the Mediterranean and Eurasia, this flower also known as “The Flower of God” is often symbolic of love and has special meaning for the holidays. Coming in a wide variety of colors to include yellow, purple, pink, green, white, dark red, and striped, the carnation is the perfect way to celebrate and dine with family during Thanksgiving.
