Top o' the Mornin' to ya! Have a Blessed Day!

Happy International Women’s Day! Did you know women can become Lions? Not only can they become a lion, they may also take on various leadership roles, if they choose to, and collaborate with fellow lions from all over the world! There are currently 4 women in our club and we are looking to grow our numbers! Reach out to us today about how you can become a New Voice in our club! We’d love to have you!

Reason #10 Why become a Lion? It is so important to carry on the Lion Legacy in each and every community. Over the years Lions Club International has seen a decline in membership across the world, but in particular, here in the United States. We have been fortunate enough to continue to have a very strong club in our community and we want that to CONTINUE! We hope that you have enjoyed this series on 10 Reasons why YOU should become a LION! Even in circumstances such as today, we are always eager to welcome new members! Reach out to us for more information on how you can join! We'd love to hear from you!!!!!

It comes with great sadness that the Bushy Run Lions Club must announce the CANCELLATION of our Annual Fall Pancake Breakfast that was to be held this Saturday, November 21st. The health and safety of our community is of the upmost importance to us. We hope to resume our famous breakfasts sometime in Spring 2021. Stay well and safe!
