We are a Service Organization serving our community; though we work together we become more than club members to each other. A true fellowship exists among Lioness and this creates a warm friendly and fun atmosphere, which carries over to our many community activities. We also do social and fun things as attend baseball games, shows, plays, attending other Lioness Club or District social events, attending District, State and International Conventions .
