Ball Ground Lions Club No. 7289 is one of the oldest active Lions Clubs in the state, having been founded October 4, 1939.  With a current enrollment of 24 members, the Club constantly works for the betterment of the local community to which we are dedicated. Our Lions tackled the 4-month long renovation of the 32ft. long mural depicting the life & times of WWII P.O.W. Jim Edmondson at Edmonson Field in Nelson and completed the project in July 2011.  Lions adorn Downtown Ball Ground with American flags in observance of annual holidays. Almost $4000 was raised & donated by the Club to an 8 year-old kidney-transplant patient.   Lions joined forces with area Firemen and Masons to re-roof our City Clerk's home after the sudden death of her husband.  We continually collect eyeglasses, hearing aids and cellphones for donation to the Georgia Lighthouse for the Blind.  Ball Ground Lions also support the Leader Dogs and fund a week's stay at the Georgia Camp for the Blind for a Ball Ground teenager, blind since birth. Lions mentor and gladly volunteer at Ball Ground Elementary. And newcomers may be surprised to know that Downtown's baseball park was built by the Lions Club and donated to the City. Ball Ground Lions proudly carry on the Lions tradition of "We Serve".

Lions are an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 205 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world.
