Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I have to attend meetings?

In addition to fellowship and organization of Lion activities, a speaker presents a program of interest to members.  You are permitted to attend the meeting without purchasing a meal.

Q: How much does Lions cost?

A: Dues are $80 annually. Payment can be made all at once or $20.00 every three months.  All club dues are paid by the members.  These funds are used for the club administrative costs, International and State dues.  100% of funds raised from the public are used for charitable purposes; no funds are used for club administration costs. 

Q: I’m really busy right now, will I be required to participate in all events?

A: No. Our members are diverse and have widely varying degrees of work and home responsibilities that change over time.  Some choose to support Lions financially; others enjoy fundraising and service projects while others are active in the administration of club programs.
