Olympia Lions manage many community projects. (Learn about our projects here.)
Members and volunteers can choose to be involved in one project or several. You can serve for one day, on a project team or as a project leader.

Lions have fun together.
When Melvin Jones first proposed a club to serve others, he also wanted a chance for hardworking people to have a little break, enjoy some time together and go back to work refreshed.
Today we still aim to have a little fun at every meeting and make our projects fun as well. We enjoy the company of our fellow Lions and love to laugh together.
Join is for a meeting and see what we mean.

Olympia Host Lions meet each Tuesday at noon for one hour.
At most meetings, we spend a few minutes on project reports, share a laugh or two, and then enjoy an informative program on a topic of local interest.
And, yes, you can wear shorts to the meetings!

Wherever the community gathers, be on the lookout for the Lions. We may be there with our burger booth - or handing out water, directing traffic, or just lending a hand with a paintbrush or broom. We are proud of our town and enjoy working with others to keep Olympia a wonderful place to live. Want to help?
