We will hold several fund raising events annually, most with a social aspect, to allow members to have a chance to have some fun and get to know other staff better in an informal setting, while doing some good for the community. NO activity will ever ask more than a single day of commitment on your part, and participation, while encouraged, is always optional. Finally, as students, you will be graduating eventually to practice optometry. Nearly every community you may practice in has a Lions club. Lions Club membership is a terrific way to become known to important members in the community in which you choose to practice.
Most lions live, work, or own businesses in communities where the club meets.
Ordinarily , you must be recommended for membership, apply, and be voted in as a new Lion. Due to the fact that we realize that most students are not earning any income , and funds can be tight, we have decided to start a Leo Club on campus. While most of you may think of Leo clubs as a High school activity, Lions in fact allow Leo's to be much older than you think. Our Leo club will be separately chartered from the Lions Club, but will meet at the same times and locations. The benefit of this structure is to allow us to lower the dues burden on student members.
