Our Meetings
We meet in a private dining room at the Herrington On The Bay. We have dinner meetings, both business meetings and program meetings with speakers from the community and Lions organizations. We enjoy the fellowship and the opportunity to make a difference in our community, our state, our country, and the world. Usually, our second meeting of the month is a Program Meeting that features a speaker from the community or the District Cabinet.

Rain Barrels and Composters
"Our club is concerned with our environment and conserving our resources. Rain water harvesting is important because it decreases the high demand for domestic water in which residential irrigation can account for up to 40% of consumption. By collecting rain water and storing it a rain barrel you'll have water for future use, whether it's for watering the garden or just keeping it handy for emergency situations.

We are offering Rain Barrels ready to use including 2 spigots for watering and overflow. Paint and/or decorate as you like. Our composters allow you to recycle kitchen scraps, lawn clippings, and general yard waste. We deliver the barrels and composters for free anywhere in the Northern Calvert/Southern Ann Arundel area. The cost of the rain barrel is $80 and the composter is $148. And --- all profits go back to the community!".

Our History
The International Association of Lions Clubs began as the dream of Chicago businessman Melvin Jones. He believed that local business clubs should expand their horizons from purely professional concerns to the betterment of their communities and the world at large. Jones' group, the Business Circle of Chicago, agreed. After contacting similar groups around the United States, an organizational meeting was held on June 7, 1917 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The new group took the name of one of the invited groups, the "Association of Lions Clubs," and a national convention was held in Dallas, Texas, USA in October of that year. A constitution, by-laws, objects and code of ethics were approved.

In 1925, Helen Keller addressed the Lions international convention in Cedar Point, Ohio, USA. She challenged Lions to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness." From this time, Lions clubs have been actively involved in service to the blind and visually impaired. Today, the Lions Clubs International has grown to include 1.3 million men and women in approximately 45,000 clubs located in 202 countries and geographic areas.

The Twin Beaches Lions Club was chartered on October 8, 1947 with Robert S. Mead serving as it’s first President and Fred J. Donovan serving as Secretary/Treasurer. There were 34 members on the Charter roll. In 1984 the club name was changed to the Northern Calvert Lions Club.

The Lions motto, “We Serve” has always been uppermost in the minds of the Twin Beaches/Northern Calvert club. Locally the club has provided emergency help, scholarships, and important aid to community projects including ball teams, a medical center, Volunteer Fire Departments, Boys and Girls Clubs, and other organizations and causes deemed by the club as worthy of our support.

What are we up to?

We are currently selling our popular rain barrels. Folks are buying our barrels, painting them the color of their siding, and then decorating them with pictures of flowers. We're also preparing for the annual Bayfest on the Boardwalk in North Beach on the 3rd weekend in August. We will be selling beer, pull tabs, and pushing our rain barrels at the festival. We will be set up at the corner of Fifth Street and Bayfront Avenue. Come see us!
