The Lions Club Mission Statement
To create and foster a spirit of
understanding among all people for humanitarian needs by providing
voluntary services through community involvement and international
cooperation. To help those who are less fortunate than us and provide
whatever service and help that we are able to help.
Our Projects
Fox Lake Lions conduct a number of projects each year to raise money
which is spent locally to help people. $2000.00 in scholarship money for
further education is awarded each year to Grant Community High School
graduates. Fox Lake Lions sponsor 2 campers to Camp Lions for a week,
June 27 to July 3, 2011. The cost for each camper is $1050.00 with a
$250.00 donation for supplies with a total of $1300.00 for each camper.
Camp Lion is for youth with vision and hearing imparments to meet, make
new friends and participate in fun, challenging activities.
Our Events
Fox Lake Lions continually work, themselves,
to raise money for these causes. The yearly Flower Show is held at Grant
Community High School . The Mobile Hearing Unit will be at the
Super Senior Day at Grant Township, May 6, 2011; Grant Township Senior
Luncheon, July 21, 2011; and Fox Lake Chamber of Commerce Senior Fair,
October 27, 2011. The annual Candy Drive will be on October 7 & 8, 2011.
During the month of September the Diabetic/Macular Degeneration Mobil
Unit will be in Fox Lake. More information will be posted when they
become available.
