We support Lions Mission 1.5, the drive to reach 1.5 million members worldwide, so we can better meet the growing needs of our communities and the world.

The club also voted financial support for Leader Dogs for the Blind and Lions Clubs International Foundation, amd discussed plans for the upcoming District Convention.

We Enjoyed a Nine Inning Vacation!

Tri-County Lions got together for a fun evening at Smokies Stadium to watch the Tennessee Smokies play the Biloxi Shuckers in an exciting game. The weather was ideal, it was an exciting game, and the opportunity to spend time with such good friends was priceless. We had a great turnout of members, families, and friends.

This annual event has become an annual favorite. Want to be part of our team? We meet the second Monday of each month at the Gondolier Restaurant near Lowes just off Chapman Hwy.
