About the Necedah Lions Club and the Necedah Wisconsin Lions Charities

The Necedah Lions Club and the Necedah Wisconsin Lions Charities (a 501 (c) (3) organization) are part of an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 200 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world.

Known for working to end preventable blindness, the Necedah Lions Club participates in a vast variety of community projects. These projects range from (but not limited to) to help those who are sight impaired and / or blind, to help those who are hearing impaired or deaf, to improve our communities by raising and donating funds to local organizations, schools, and other areas where help is needed, by cleaning up local parks, and providing supplies to victims of natural disasters.

Here is a brief list of our community service:

• Assiting young people with disabilities at Camp Rosholt, Wisconsin
• Collecting and distributing home health care equipement such as hospital beds, wheelchairs, and crutches to low income families not only in their area, but throughout the nation and in Mexico.
• Building wheelchair ramps
• Cell phone collection*
• Eyeglass recycling*
• Children vision screening
• Youth hearing screening
• Community Diabetes
• Environmental Awareness (Whooping Crane & Wildlife Festival)

  * Help out our environment by donating your used cell phones. Recycling cell phones is a way of keeping toxic materials out of the environment. At the same time, your cell phone can raise funds for organizations to help needy causes. If you have an unused cell phone that you would like to donate, just drop it off at the Information Booth at the Whooping Crane and Wildlife Festival. We will see that it is properly recycled and if we receive compensation we will see that the money goes toward our projects of sight and hearing conservation.

Why should I become a Lion?

Lions club members are men and women who strive to make a difference in their local community as well as communities worldwide. Their volunteer efforts go beyond the support of vision care, to addressing unmet health, education, and community service needs locally and worldwide.

As a Lions club member, you can:

• Make a difference everyday in your community. Whether it is providing support locally or reaching out internationally, you will have an opportunity to serve.
• Be a part of worldwide organizations carrying out community and humanitarian projects. Members allow Lions clubs worldwide to carry out many community and humanitarian programs.
• Gain an understanding and have an impact on international humanitarian issues.
• Develop relationships with both local and international community and business leaders.

Beginning in 1917, the association of Lions clubs has provided millions of people with the opportunity to give something back to their communities. View LQ (Lions Quarterly Video Magazine) on the Lions News Network to see how Lions continue to make a difference everyday and everywhere.
