Interested in Lions Membership?

Membership is offered by invitation.  Tell any local Lion that you are interested in membership and want to attend a meeting or service project to learn more.

For more information on how to become a member of the Rockford Lions Club, visit our ‘How to Become a Member’ page.  If you live well outside the Rockford area visit www.lionsclubs.org to locate or start a club.  Since club projects vary according to community needs, it is a good idea to contact several clubs directly to get an idea of their projects.

What Can You Do as a Lion?

Lions Clubs International has what you are looking for – an opportunity to help people, broaden your horizons and fulfill your goals.  Lions membership offers you an amazing spectrum of possibilities.  Projects can vary from cleaning up your neighborhood park to helping end river blindness in Africa.  Lions clubs provide extensive opportunities for men and women to learn and grow while serving locally and internationally.  Lions continue to:
  • address needs that are often unmet in their communities, such as teaching life skills to school children, building playgrounds and homes and supporting the elderly
  • assist the blind and visually impaired by providing preventive screenings, offering resources and equipment
  • reach out to youth through mentoring and educational programs
  • raise awareness of health care issues, such as diabetes, hearing loss and vision impairment
  • provide disaster relief, including food, supplies and healthcare screenings
  • work collectively and individually to build stronger communities
As a Lion, you will make life better for others while enriching your own life in the process.  As a Lion, you can make a difference.
 

How Often Do Lions Clubs Get Together?

While most Lions meet with their clubs one or two times a month to plan projects and conduct club business, their time commitment depends mainly on the community service activities they undertake. Being a Lion is a great opportunity to get to know and develop personal and professional relationships with people in your community.
