OUR MISSION
The Lake Zurich Lions Club is one of the foremost clubs in the Chicago area. While we actively support the interests of Lions Clubs International, our loyalties are deeply rooted in service to our own community.
Welcome to the Lake Zurich Lions Club
Since 1917 Lions Clubs have served the world's population through hard work and commitment to make a difference in the lives of people everywhere. With over 1.4 million members serving in more than 49,000 clubs in over 200 countries and geographic areas. Lions Clubs International is the world's largest membership-based service organization. Lions are recognized worldwide for their service to the blind and visually impaired. Our club serves people in Lake Zurich, Kildeer, Hawthorn Woods and Deer Park. But our membership reaches even further, drawing people from Palatine, Cary, McHenry, Round Lake, Ingleside, Barrington and Crystal Lake as well. These members are involved both because of what we do and because of the fellowship they enjoy.
History
During the summer of 1939 a group of 25 Lake Zurich businessmen and citizens banded together in the interest of fostering civic and community improvement and building cooperation between businesses and the community as a whole.
