Wickenburg Lions Club


The Wickenburg Lions Club was chartered 50 years ago this March 2005. As the motto of this International organization states " We Serve",this club has performed at a very high level of community dedication. The club doesn't maintain property or lodges like many other organizations so all of their effort in obtaining money is returned 100% back to the public. The Wickenburg Club meets on the second and forth Thursday of each month. It is an evening meeting with dinner prepared by the Rainbow Girls and their counselors. Individual Lion's quarterly dues is the revenue collected for these meals. After dinner, a small amount of club business is taken care of and then there is usually a very interesting guest speaker.

The Wickenburg Lions Club has helped the local community with many project donations. In 2002, they donated over $10,000.00 towards the new swimming pool project. In 2004, a donation of $5,000.00 was given for the new skate park project. Many other projects, have been supported by this club. A sound system for the hearing impared was donated to the new Performing Arts Center, a generous donation also helped created a monument setting for our historical "Jail Tree" area. As you can see, not only do they assist with over 100 new pair of eyeglasses and exams for the community each year but many other projects are aided by this hard working group of Lions.
