Officers for 2007-2008

 

 

Since our charter on April 6, 1939 we have been very active in supporting various community projects. We work side-by-side with our city and Northwest Missouri State University. Members have served at all levels of The International Association of Lions. The Club continually supports many projects --- including the Lions Clubs International Foundation and the Missouri Lions Eye Research Foundation. They are also quick to respond to support disaster relief. We encourage potential new members to contact any of the Lions mentioned on this web page for more information.
