JOIN THE SCANDIA-MARINE LIONS CLUB

As a Lion, you will have the opportunity to help others, meet new people and use your talents to make a real impact. You will acquire new skills, meet challenges head-on, cultivate lasting friendships, grow personally, and have fun at the same time.

I’m ready to help.

Lions help where help is needed – in their own communities and around the world – with unmatched integrity and dedication.

I’m adventurous.

When it comes to meeting challenges, the Lions response is simple: We serve.

I’m a leader.

Lions Clubs International develops leaders. Lion leaders serve at every level of the organization and oversee everything from local membership to the organization’s international direction.

I’m making a difference.

Lions see despair turned to hope when they impact the lives of the less fortunate, the hungry and sick, the homeless and abandoned.
