Socorro County Lions Club Cleaned Up and Fixed Up at the Forget Me Not Veteran's Park in Socorro
It was a tough job, but in true Lions fashion, Socorro County Lions Club met it head one. They are a pretty new club with a zest to Serve.
On May 16th, with 7 members joining together, they tackled a pretty tough project, with a smile! They cleaned, painted and did what was needed of them in 29 hours of Service.
Lion Club President Moneic said that the group they worked with “builds tiny homes and always need help.” They hope to do it again.
Great job, Socorro County Lion

Helping Bloodline Boxing
Clovis Evening Lions have been helping Bloodline Boxings Events
for some time now. The hopes for these children is to do better in
school and in our community. They work hard practicing and have
to maintain their grades in school in order to continue boxing. We
have met a lot of really awesome young men and women that have
proven they have the will and the way to do better for our community.


Boy Scouts
Clovis Evening Lions are always ready to help our kids. We presented a check to Justin (the Boy Scouts Leader) to help the kids go to camp. It always feels good to know that a child will further their future by the
things they will learn along the way.

Lead to Serve, Serve to Lead with International President A.P. Singh
As we approach the end of the year, this is the perfect time to reflect on our shared experience as Lions. While each of us brings something unique, it is our combined effort that creates the greatest impact.
When we come together in service, we achieve meaningful goals and show our communities the kindness and commitment Lions are known for. As Lions, we are never alone — we support one another, inspire one another and overcome challenges together.


LCIF Tell-A-Thon
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.
