FORT PAYNE, Ala.-- The Fort Payne Lions Club will host an After Hours Membership Drive, at the Fort Payne Coal and Iron Building, on Tuesday, April 18 from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.

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 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. 

The Fort Payne Lions Club meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at Cattle Stampede in Fort Payne. 

Stop by the Fort Payne Lions Club Membership Drive on Tuesday and enjoy refreshments and vision screening demonstrations.
