In our first 15 years, our club has raised over $70,000 to be used in the above areas. Our 2011 and 2012 Lion's Fest raised enough money for our club to donate a gazebo to the Town of Sheboygan's Firehouse Park for parents to enjoy while their kids play on the playground. (see photo above).
We are continually looking for new ways to raise money to improve our community. We welcome anyone who is interested in joining our growing club to attend one of our monthly meetings. We meet at Town and Country Club Restaurant at 6PM on the first Tuesday of each month. Please feel free to join us and we would be glad to tell you more about the Lions and how "We Serve". If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Bob Oonk via email boonk@charter.net.
