We Serve!

As we prepare to begin a new Lion Year we pause to reflect on some of the successes of the year just ending. Thanks to the leadership of 2021-22 Pres. Connie Emmons and her team, Tri-County Lions has continued to serve the people of this community, the region, and the world, averaging more than 3 service projects per month!

If you'd like to volunteer to serve our community and the world, simply download a membership application from the Home page on this site, and bring it to the upcoming meeting July 11, 6-m, at the Gondolier Restaurant. We will get you involved!
