OUR MISSION AND MOTTO

To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace, and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.  Our motto: “WE SERVE.”

OUR VISION

To be the global leader in community and humanitarian service.  We typically hold dinner meetings every second and last Wednesday of the month from September through June and occasionally feature speakers, donation recipients and special guests that inform and entertain.  We encourage all members to help set the direction of our Club, participate in leadership roles, and identify causes to support and the Club’s priorities, while fostering camaraderie and advancing our mission

More Information:

The name Lions stands not only for fraternity, good fellowship, the strength of character, and purpose but above all, its combination of L-I-O-N-S heralds the true meaning: LIBERTY, INTELLIGENCE, OUR NATION'S SAFETY.

The Warren Lions started holding its annual EXPO Carnival more than 50 years ago.  Not only is it our Club’s major fundraising event, but it also meets one of our Club’s objectives: to improve the quality of life and enjoyment in our community.  The EXPO has been recognized as a community event that was considered in ranking Warren Township sixth in the nation as a “best place to live” in 2009 (CNNMoney.com).

We also provide sponsorships and volunteer at other local community events as well, such as the Wagner Farm’s butterfly release, the annual Warren Township Bonfire (where our Leos club serves hot chocolate), and the Chamber of Commerce Holiday walk where we serve hot apple cider, give out toys and have children meet our mascot, "Leo the Lion".

We look forward to your continued support of these events, and always seek out new members!  Please look at our Services page to see how we raise funds, serve our community through action, and some of the organizations and causes we support.
