OUR HISTORY

The North East Lions Club Inc. was founded March 1947, chartered April 14, 1947, and incorporated March 1948. The Host club was Rising Sun.

In 2000, the Upper North East Lions Club merged with our club. They have enabled our club to grow and through their membership, helped us to accomplish many goals. 

The North East Lions Club continues to serve the community as it has done since 1947.  Membership has changed, projects and fund raisers have changed over the years, but our goal is "We Serve". Check out our Projects Page to see what we are doing.

We are proud to say we have eight Melvin Jones Percipients since 1990.  They are: Lions Bob Gochnear (1990), Robert Benjamin, Sr. (1995), Dean Rice (1996), Keijo Karppinen (1997), Brian Clare (1997), Bob Madgeberger (2000), Janet (Sis) Hammer (2002, Robert Benjamin III (2004), Bill Dallas (2007) Glenn Davis (2008), Henry Hammer (2008), and John McMaster (2009).

In the 2008-2009 year, we received the District 22B Five Star  and Governor's Exceptional Club Award.

Our Life Members are:  Lions Janet (Sis) Hammer, Henry Hammer, Dean Rice, and Larry Wiggins.
