If you'd like to join with us, contact Membership Chairman Charlie Hunderlach (658-7571) for more information or contact any LIONS Member for an application form.

 Remember that supporting our fund raising functions is supporting all of the East Granby and other charitable organizations that we sponsor or support (listed elsewhere on this page). We thank everyone for their continued interest and support.

Remember that all LIONS Clubs accept used or outdated prescription eyeglasses (and also hearing aids) for recycling.  This includes sunglasses  - both perscription and non-perscription - because dark glasses are needed after certain eye-surgeries.  Collection points are EG Town Hall, Granby Pharmacy, Suffield Bank in East Granby and Hair It Is Salon, but any LIONS member will accept donations for this purpose or you may bring them to any one of our events.

In conjunction with the local Boy Scout Troup 70, as an Eagle Project, we are planning the construction of a storage facilty behind the Senior-Community Center
