About Us...
The Lake Villa Township Lions Club credits its success in recruiting and retaining men and women because a variety of factors. These factors characterize the club's composition, fellowship, organization, activity and its genuine interest to serve others. Lions are encouraged to invite prospective members to attend a meeting and consider joining the club. Members are assured that a prospective candidate will be warmly welcomed and given an opportunity to have a good meal, meet our members, listen and interact with guest speakers on timely local topics of interest, and join in some good-natured fun.
Whether it is a business or a program meeting every effort is made to keep it brief, interesting and enjoyable. The fellowship shared by all is of utmost importance to create an atmosphere in which Lions can exchange ideas, plan projects and just have fun. Our members regularly attend conferences, conventions and forums, each an opportunity to make and renew friendships and learn about Lionism. We strongly encourage our members to visit other clubs.
We want to attract high energy members who will do their part in helping the club reach its goals. Lions have different talents and abilities and those assets are recognized and channeled by the leadership, to give members the greatest satisfaction from their contribution to an activity. Lions are always thanked and recognized at a meeting and on our website for their part in the success in the activity.
The true strength of our club comes from within. It starts with active leadership, and when every member contributes, a good organization becomes a great one. Involvement is the key to success. When members feel they are contributing, they are needed and supported, and they are imporant to the success of the club, they feel good about their individual and collective efforts to serve others and Lionism is strengthened.
Here is a small sampling of what our club as done this past year:
- Collected over 5000 pairs of eyeglasses for the Northwest Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center.
- Arranged for 20 eye examinations and glasses for members of the community who could otherwise not afford this service.
- Sponsored attendees at a camp for young people with diabetes.
- Supported the Lions Club International Foundation, the grant-making arm of Lions Clubs International.
- Arranged for the Lions Health Screening van, a mobile unit that performs vision, diabetes and other checks for members of the community.
- Hosted our annual Spring and Fall pancake breakfasts.
- Supported the Lake Villa Township Food Pantry.
We take pride in the services we provide to our community and we have fun too!
