Ironman 70.3 came to Ruidoso in July! Team Leader Lion Paula Locke, husband David Locke & her daughter Lion Beth dedicated so many hours to ensure that Ironman 70.3 Ruidoso went well! They volunteered for multiple shifts over throughout the week for this monumentous event. We were all overjoyed to volunteer for this event. Ironman brought so much life and excitement to our village. The athletes were so kind and courteous. They loved the challenge that Ruidoso presented.

D40 Convention 2027

The Clovis Evening Lions have been participating in this much needed fundraiser in our Community for a few years now. Our official name is "ALLEY CATS" and hear me "MEOW". This is such a fun project and makes you feel like you have made a difference at least in a few animals lives. Adopt-A-Pet Society is a non-profit organization that provides food, medicine, medical attention, cat litter, fostering of animals that are in need of a new home and so much more.

The Clovis Evening Lions enjoys helping the Draggin' Main Event by making sure the Participants are the only vehicles that enter the event on Main Street. It may be work keeping everything in order, but it's a lot of fun working with fellow Lions. ROAR!!! This is a huge event for Clovis New Mexico. Draggin' Main is a week long event that lets people bring their vehicles to show them off and meet people that have come from other cities and states.
