Richmond is a town of 2470 strong in the very northern part of Utah. Our Lions Club participates in many city activities: Black & White Days (the longest running Holstein show west of the Mississippi), the annual Easter Egg Hunt, the city party, and putting up (and taking down) the Christmas lights for the city.

Service Areas

 The three schools in Richmond--Park Elementary, White Pine Middle School, and North Cache 8-9 Center--partner with the Lions Club to identify students who may need assistance in obtaining an eye exam and eyeglasses. Once a student is approved, an appointment is set up with a local optometrist and either part or all of the cost is borne by the club.

The club also assists in other ways around town: putting up and taking down the holiday lights in the park and at the city office; organizing and managing the vendor booths at Black & White Days as well as taking the tickets for the draft horse pull in the evening; putting on the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Generally at least one additional project is done each year that typically involves building, remodeling, or refurbishing something like the park pavilions or the star garden. The club also maintains the Lions Grove area at the base of High Creek.
