Laingsburg Lions Club: Making a Difference Since 1948
Since our founding on June 23, 1948, the Laingsburg Lions Club has been a pillar of community service in Laingsburg and surrounding areas like Lake Victoria and Scenic Lake. Generations of residents have joined our club, some remaining dedicated members for over 50 years! Our motivation is simple—we want our community to be a place of pride, a place where families thrive, and a place where neighbors support one another. Being a Lion means making a difference and shaping Laingsburg into one of the best communities to call home.
Our Global Connection, Our Local Mission
While we are proud to be part of Lions International, the world's largest community service organization with over 1.4 million members across 46,000+ clubs in 200+ countries, our primary focus is right here in Laingsburg.
We are a hands-on, action-oriented organization, offering community-minded individuals a chance to connect, serve, and create lasting friendships. Our impact extends beyond Laingsburg, supporting critical state and national initiatives that improve lives.
Opportunities to Serve & Lead
Our club supports various projects at the state and national levels, including Lions charities. If you’re passionate about service, you can get involved in meaningful efforts such as White Cane, Leader Dogs for the Blind, Braille Transcribing, Radio Talking Book, Drug Awareness, and Diabetes Awareness. Leadership opportunities abound—many Lions go on to lead district-wide programs and even become District Governors.
Why We Need You
The heart of the Laingsburg Lions Club is its members—individuals who believe in giving back. Our success depends on members willing to contribute their time in ways that fit their schedules and interests. We understand that family and work commitments come first, and we only ask that each Lion finds their niche and serves in a way that is both meaningful and manageable.
Fundraising & Giving Back
Our initiatives are powered by the generosity of our community through key fundraising events. The annual Springtime Festival, Golf Outing, and White Cane Drive sustain our local programs and state-wide initiatives, including Lions Bear Lake Camp and the Lions Service Foundation. While we’ve had to retire fundraising efforts like Millionaire Parties due to declining membership, we continue to innovate and find ways to support the causes we care about.
A Welcoming & Inclusive Community
The Laingsburg Lions Club is open to all individuals, regardless of race, color, gender, national origin, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, or political affiliation. Our club operates entirely on volunteer efforts—there are no paid positions, just passionate people making a difference.
