What is The North Brevard Lions Club?
The North Brevard Lions Club was chartered August 10th 2007 and currently has 43 members. We are a group of people from all walks of life giving back to a community that has given so much to us. We welcome anyone who is interested in donating time and energy to our community to be our guest at our meetings and we are always looking to add new civic minded and caring people and families to our ranks. The Lions Motto is "We Serve."
Lions International
Lions are an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 202 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world. Lions conduct vision and health screenings, build parks, support eye hospitals, award scholarships, assist youth, and provide help in time of disaster and much more.
Known for working to end preventable blindness, Lions participate in a vast variety of projects important to their communities. These projects range from cleaning up local parks to providing supplies to victims of natural disasters. Beginning in 1917, the association of Lions clubs has provided millions of people with the opportunity to give something back to their communities.
We meet the needs of our local communities and the world.
Join us in making our communities and the world better places to live.
