This year, Lions and Leos around the world have made a meaningful difference. Through your leadership and service, compassion and kindness, needs have been met, lives have been touched and communities strengthened. As the Lion year comes to a close, that impact continues.

D40 LCIF END of YEAR REPORT July 2025 - June 2026

A conversation exploring how movement, music, energy and celebration can transform meetings, conventions and service into engaging experiences, boosting member connection, retention and the overall joy of being a Lion.

Tell-A-Thon is a global storytelling event where Lions, Leos, families, friends and neighbors come together to hear real stories about why service matters. It’s also an LCIF fundraiser that helps fund even more service in communities around the world.

We kindly request your assistance in strengthening our impact through a club donation to the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) by June 15, 2026. Club donations unify our giving, so LCIF can fund programs that improve health, strengthen communities, and support those in need. Let's make District 40 stand out. Imagine every club in our district donating to LCIF, no matter the size of the donation.

What a weekend! Thank you to everyone who joined us in Carlsbad for the 98th Annual NM/AZ Lions State Convention. From the fellowship to the service, it was a resounding success! 🦁 It was a privilege to host such a dedicated group, and it’s fair to say a wonderful time was had by all!

Clovis Evening Lions help our city Library with their Adult Summer Reading Program. It is always a great feeling knowing we possibly helped someone better their life through reading.

Clovis Evening Lions has started a new project to help people in need of a meal. We have teamed up with Foxy's Drive In and Matt 25 Hope Center to provide a meal to someone in need. Foxy's will give the person a few meal choices and then will get them fed. Matt 25 is our local non-profit organization that helps people with any need they may have. They will give an individual a meal ticket that they can bring to Foxy's. Pay It Forward.
