Current Membership 32 men - Cost of Annual Membership $128.00

Membership is open to anyone 18 and over. Applicants must be invited by current members. We hold annual open house meetings to recruit new members.

The privilege of being a Naches Lion entitles a person to one lunch and one dinner each month. It also entitles a person to vote at meetings and it entitles a person to work at community service projects and fund-raisers.

About the Naches Lion's Club

The Naches Lions Club is a service organization chartered by Lions Club International with over fifty years of service to the Naches Valley. The Lions Motto is "We Serve" and we do! Sight and hearing projects are a major interest of Lions Clubs. We can tap into Lions Multiple District funding for major sight and hearing projects. Most sight and hearing projects are paid with funds generated in the Naches community. Our Club sponsors Sportsman's Days, a community function that allows other organizations to raise funds.

Activities

Each month brings a different service project, From Christmas Decorations to Easter Egg Hunts, from collecting funds for the Sight Foundation (White Cane Days) in May to collecting funds for the Hearing Foundation (Golden Ears Days) in November. The Club sponsors and maintains a cabin at Camp Prime Time, a camp near Clear Lake for families with special needs children. The planning for Sportsman's Day and running the event is our major activity. To raise funds for our local projects, scholarships, eye exams, glasses and hearing aids, we recycle newspaper from bins at Slims and Suntides. We work at Indian John Hill coffee stop.

Regular monthly meetings are held:

Second Tuesday Lunch Meeting at the Apple Cart Deli, Downtown Naches
Third Tuesday Board Meetings 6:30 am at Kathy’s Sticky Fingers, Downtown
Final Thursday 7:00 Dinner Meeting at the Apple Cart Deli

Our Club under the able leadership of Lion Ted Cowan operates a warehouse of hospital equipment. This equipment is loaned and delivered to members of the community free of charge. Hospital beds, walkers, and wheel chairs are some major items loaned.

By sponsoring Sportsmans' Days this allows other nonprofit groups to earn money. This also provides a great time of community fellowship, which far exceeds the value of the money brought in during that weekend.

Our club leadership goes from July 1 to June 30
