During your evaluation. Lions Clubs encourage family participation.  For example, in our club, six of our fifteen members are:

 

·         husband and wife:

·         father and daughter,

·         father and son.

 

Also Lions sponsor, in cooperation with local schools, what are termed 'Leo' clubs, which are intended for youngsters of high-school age and below.

 

 

If you are interested in joining…

 

• All Lions Club members are sponsored
• So while you are evaluating us, we will want to know about you.
• And the appropriate individual, from our club, can be designated as a sponsor.

 

Every active member pays dues to the club.  Our current dues are $85 per quarter, which includes the cost of six (6) dinner meals. 

 

 

Fund Raising.  Without having fund-raising, none of our good works would be done. 

 

Once or twice a year we have a ‘White Cane’ day, to solicit donations from our neighbors.  Also, donations from Leon’s ‘speaking’ engagements are included in the fund-raising.

 

Currently, we are in the process of developing new fund-raisers, since our primary fund-raiser has recently ceased operations.  One of the new fund-raiser is selling “Lions of Virginia Foundation” (LOVF) raffle tickets.

 

All fund-raising income, with the exception of purchases to produce the fund-raiser, goes back into our service projects.  Lions Clubs maintains two accounts:

 

1.       Activities (charitable donations): Income from fund-raising income is placed in this account. 

2.       Administrative:  Income from dues, 50/50, etc. is placed in this account.

 

In order to support our service projects, every active member is expected to assist (work).

 

We also have fun while working, and the knowledge that we are serving the community.

 

 

 

The above line which is also found in other pages (panels) represents the Virginia State bird (Cardinal) and the Virginia State flower and tree (Dogwood), as well as the Lions Emblem.
