Clovis Evening Lions had their Gun, Knife and Coin Show on March 13-15, 2026. We have two shows a year and have an average of 60 vendors. We had two special guests at our Gun Show this time, 2nd Vice District Governor Cisco Knox and Ruidoso Club President Jessica Knox came to our Show and spent the weekend with us. It is always a pleasure when someone takes time to come visit us and enjoy the Gun Show. We had a Scavenger Hunt for the kids this time, which was a huge success.

1st Vice District Governor Joel Edwards and Clovis Club President Christi Edwards attended the VFW Cornhole Tournament to help support their group. Needless to say, there was double elimination and yes that's exactly how we went D-O-W-N!!! Two young ladies beat us the first game and then to young kids beat us the second time. I will definitely be more prepared for the next tournament, more than likely bribing someone to take my place!! All jokes aside, having an alliance with

Clovis Evening Lions have been helping Floyd Lions with their Jamboree for a few years now. It is so neat to hear local talent sing and also to get hear Will Banister. This year was the 73rd year they have held their Jamboree. We also had a special guest helper, District Governor Frankie Davis came to the Jamboree and helped with admission. 

The monthly meeting was held March 4 at First Baptist/Vista Grande Church in Tijeras with Lion Rena Harris heading the potluck meal.  Highlight was the visit and talk by DG Frankie Davis who told about his recent Lions service visits abroad. President Sarah Berry was pleased to report that two guests attending, Wes Harris and Tony Mittas, later submitted their applications for Lions membership. Approval was given through an email vote by Club members.

Farmington Evening Lions Club recently lost Lion Gary Lund.  Gary joined our club on October 1, 2001.  One of Gary’s favorite projects was the Pancake Breakfast.  He worked all stations and always had a smile!!    He was great to get sponsors for all of our Fundraising Projects. The joke was, he could get anyone to donate. Some have said that it may have been their way to get him to leave. (Joke!)  He had the gift of gab!  We will miss that!

During the District 40 Cabinet Meeting in Moriarity, NM on March 7, 2026, Farmington Evening Lions Club President Wesley W. Brown, Jr. presented a $500 check to Lion Rita Graham, who represented NM KidSight.  It is our club’s privilege to support NMLOK in their efforts to help all children of NM.

From the very beginning, Lions have welcomed everyone with a heart to serve — and that spirit shines especially bright when we engage younger generations. Young people bring fresh ideas, new energy and a passion for service that help keep our organization strong, relevant and growing. To carry our mission into the next 100 years and beyond, we must continue inviting dynamic, service-minded people to stand alongside us.
