The La Plata Lions Club today continues its long tradition of active community involvement, recognizing needs wherever they may be and working hard to meet them. Over the years, we have devoted the majority of our service efforts to three general areas of activities: youth, community service, and health. Together with other area Lions Clubs, we support a number of regional and international service projects.

Many people have benefited from the work of the La Plata Lions Club.

• Scholarships for High School Seniors
