Take a peek at who we are

 

 

Facility

 

The Etowah Lions Club facility sits on approximately 1 acre of fenced in land. We sport a paved parking lot and picnic shed. The facility when not in use by the Lions is available for private and corporate rental. Anemities include a full kitchen, seating for 99, video equipment for presentations and a audio equipment to ensure your gathering will be able to hear you.

 

The building is adjacent to the Etowah Lions Park with access to the park from the Lions yard. This is great for those family reunion gatherings offering something for the kids, big and little, to do.

 

If you are interested in using this facility for your function please contact Lion Jerry Cox at 828-891-3135 to make your reservation today. This facility is smoke and alcohol free; with smoking recepticals outdoors.

We are sad to announce that Lion Tom Mantsch passed away the morning of November 18th, 2008. He will be missed.

The Lions have many projects, that they are well known for, throughout the World. In our community the most prominent project is the Park. You'll find Etowah Lions, tirelessly, making sure that our Park stands out among the rest.

Broom Sales

Our brooms can be found at the Lions Services office and the Fireplace Store. If you need them and can't find them, call 828-891-3071.

Eye Glasses and Services

 

The Lions have collection boxes set at different location around town. If you have unwanted eyeglasses perhaps you could drop them in one of those boxes.

 

You'll find boxes at the banks, grocery stores and post office. Or you can bring them by the Lions Services office when you come to pay your garbage bill.

 

The Etowah Lions, service the blind in this community. If you have a need for glasses or eye exams please contact us. Each community that has a Lions Club offers these services.

 

Look for the Vision Van at one of your local participating retail store parking lots or at your local Church parking lots. Whoever will accept this van does the community a huge service for eye screening.
