Today, with over 1.4 million men and women, in almost
45,000 Lions Clubs, in more than 180 countries, Lions
have expanded their focus to help meet the ever-increasing
needs of our society. You can be one of them, by being

and have the advantage of effectively making a difference.
Our Club provides volunteers with project management assistance,
group leadership, personal development opportunities,
and organizing fundraising activities. Being a Lion empowers
you to help others in a way that no one person could do
alone. Regardless of the country or language of your origin,
your culture, race, religion, job, or the politics you
espouse, we are all alike in that Lions are dedicated
to seeking out and helping those in need. So, we want
you! Now more than ever, people with vision and hearing
problems, our senior community, the activities of our
youth and schools and the disadvantaged here in Coon Rapids
and around the world need your help. You can make a positive
difference. By participating in our Coon Rapids Lions
Club, you can help meet the pressing needs right here

We
meet about 4 times per month, each for a different reason.
All of our meetings are on Wednesday evenings. The 1st
Wednesday of the month is dedicated to identifying and
funding community needs. The 2nd Wednesday is a Board
and General Membership meeting, where Club policies are
set. The 3rd is devoted to considering our major fundraising
activities. And the 4th is our Dinner Meeting and a social
and awards event, where great fun and camaraderie is the
order of the day. Sometimes we bring our spouses. You
can come to all. But you should come to at least one.
Lions do better when they stay connected to other Club
members at least once a month. Your sponsor will bring
you. The Dinner Meetings are held at the Coon
Rapids VFW; (see above map) and the food is great.
Ask your Lion sponsor to take you to Dinner! You may wish
to attend other member-gatherings, centered around our
many activities, which are scheduled throughout the year.
