The Clarksville Area LIONS Club

We look forward to another great year of community service. Like so many other service organizations, we too have recently found that both donations and persons interested in joining our organization have markedly dropped off. As a Club, we ask that you thoughtfully consider helping those in need through either our Club, or another service organization of your choice. Please carefully consider helping others, both financially, and more importantly, with your time and energy. Feel free to contact any club member for information on joining us at the Clarksville Area LIONS Club, should you wish to do so, or by contacting our Club Secretary, via the information listed below.

Please contact us if you know of anyone who needs help with vision related problems. We have access to many resources to help those in need.

As always, we thank our communities for the support they continue to afford us. Our club serves the following towns:

¨ Besco

¨ Braden

¨ Burson

¨ Chartiers

¨ Clarksville Boro

¨ Clarksville Hill

¨ Crucible

¨ Dry Tavern

¨ Jefferson

¨ Marianna

¨ Mather

¨ Pitt Gas

¨ Rices Landing

and we welcome anyone from these towns to our club. If you are interested in LIONS Club involvement and you live in another area, we will help you find the club that serves your area and put you in touch with them.
