We Serve!
Beginning in 1917, the association of Lions clubs has provided millions of people with the opportunity to give something back to their communities.
Known for working to end preventable blindness, Lions participate in a vast variety of projects important to their communities. These projects range from cleaning up local parks to providing supplies to victims of natural disasters.
Ordinary People, Amazing Things!
The Pine Bush Lions Club is made up of members of the community who are dedicated and determined to the betterment of those who are less fortunate, and to the community itself.
The Pine Bush Lions Club's home district is New York MD-20, District 20-0. We strive to help our community. Here's just some of what we do:
- Fundraisers

Club Facts
"To create and foster a sprirt of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs by providing voluntary services through community involvement and international cooperation."
Signs displaying the emblem of Lions International are common sights wherever Lions are active.
The emblem consists of a gold letter “L” on a circular purple field.
Bordering this is a circular gold area with two lion profiles at either side facing away from the center.
The word “Lions” appears at the top and “International” at the bottom.
Symbolically, the Lions face both the past and the future--proud of the past and confident of the future.
