The Centre Lions Club 

Our 87th Year of Making a Difference!

On February 25, 1938, a group of people who wished to support their community founded the Centre Lions Club.

Helen Keller, a young woman, challenged the Lions to be “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness” when the organization was first founded.  Additionally, the Centre Lions have spent the last 87 years “making a difference in Centre, the surrounding communities, the county, and the world since 1938!

Although the Centre Lions Club is passionate about sight, we have the honor of supporting our high school seniors with scholarships, giving children a Christmas shopping event, giving our diabetic students a complimentary trip to diabetic camp, and providing eye exams and glasses to those who cannot afford them.  These are only a handful of the good things we enjoy doing for others.

We are incredibly proud to be associated with the kind companies and people who support our annual Pancake Day and Radio Day fundraisers—you know who you are!  These people, who collaborate with us to change things, are Cherokee County’s true heroes!

Therefore, we would like to know why you are not a Lion.  Anyone interested in making a difference and assisting others is welcome to participate in our membership drive!  If you are interested in becoming a Lion, just ask one of our Lion members or call me, Linda Starr on 256-557-1808 to sign up today.   Membership in the Lions Club is by invitation only!

Come, join the Centre Alabama Lions Club – “We Serve.”

Our Monthly Meetings

On average, our group has forty members. Our monthly meetings take place in the meeting room of POP's Smorgasbord, located at 1490 West Main Street, Centre, Alabama, on the second and fourth Wednesdays at lunch, 12:00 p.m. We either eat from the lunch hot bar or from the menu. The cost of the food is covered by each participant.

Our first meeting is used for conducting club business, and our second meeting features speakers on a variety of subjects or services. Programs that are instructive, informative, and motivating are among them. We also make an effort to have a little fun through parties, picnics, and community initiatives.
We are currently "The Centre Alabama Lions Club" on Facebook. Kindly "SHARE" and "LIKE" our Facebook page. Thank you.
