FORT PAYNE, ALA. -- The 48th Annual Fort Payne Lions Club Bar-B-Que Chicken Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, May 20 at the Fort Payne City Park from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Donations are $10 per ticket. Come out and enjoy some great food and fellowship.

The Lions Club was founded in 1917 and is the world’s largest service organization with over 1.4 million members in 200 countries with 48,000 clubs. 

Lions are well-known for successful initiatives in vision health but Lions volunteer for many different projects including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry, and helping seniors and the disabled. 

Being a Lion is about leading by example, building relationships, and improving the world through kindness. 

The mission of the Lions Club is to improve health and well-being, strengthen communities and support those in need through humanitarian services, and encourage peace and international understanding. 

The Fort Payne Lions Club meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at Cattle Stampede in Fort Payne and would love to have you as a new member.
