A Brief History...
Since being
sponsored by the St. Clair Lions Club in 1941, the Marysville Lions
Club has continually striven to be active, helpful to those in need,
and in general an asset to our community.
A major objective of Lionism is the prevention
of and care for blindness. In addition to annual
contributions in support of Leader Dog for the blind, the Club collects
used eyeglasses for needy children in our community.
The club provides
orthopedic equipment, including wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, and
canes to community residents without charge.
The Club has
sponsored Boy Scout Troop 216 for 58 years, and provided the first
Braille Scout Handbooks in the blue Water Council for the use of blind
members of our troop.
Accomplishments
include the erection of a memorial at Riverlawn Cemetery for residents
serving in the Armed Forces who died during World War II and in
Vietnam, development of the 9-hole Riverview Golf Course, and erection
of the community picnic shelter and Lion fountain in the City Park.
