The Kalispell Lions Club consists of men
and women dedicated to the Lions Club motto "We Serve"
We are a part of a world-wide
organization of people who serve the needs of people in our community
state country and world. Lions Clubs are found in over 100
countries in the world.
Internationally, the Lions International Eye Bank
supports cornea transplants, sight conservation and other work relating
to helping the blind regain their sight or function better in the dark
world. The Northwest Eye Bank in Seattle is part of this network.
Locally, the Kalispell Lions support a variety of area
needs, from eye glasses to scholarships and from Lions Park to various
youth activities.
In 2006 we started Strides Diabetes Walk in conjunction
with the Kalispell Regional Medical Center Diabetes Awareness program to
raise money and awareness of diabetes.
The club meets once a week to report on business and
hear an informative program.
Part of the dedication and fun of the Kalispell Lions
Club is demonstrated in our variety of fund-raising projects. For
instance, members look forward to sell raffle tickets for a rifle, work
on Lions Park or enjoy a picnic. In conjunction with other area Lions
Clubs we operate the Bitterroot Lions Youth Camp.
The Northwest Montana Fair brings out Lions and friends
of Lions to visit and joke with each other as they sell our famous fry
bread and Polish sausage dogs at the Kalispell Lions food booth.
We enjoy working together on projects to server the community.
