| About Santa Cruz Lions |
| |
 |
| |
| History |
| |
| The Santa Cruz Host Lions Club was chartered April 20, 1929 with 28 members. Meetings were held in the Pioneer Room at the Palomar Hotel until 1967, when the Lions moved to the Elks new building on Jewell Street. The Club meets every Thursday at noon. The Club has 87 members on the roster, with 10 Life members and 7 privileged members. The Club motto is, “We Serve!” This service is focused on hearing and sight conservation, as well as on the development of our community’s youth. The Santa Cruz Host Lions has never turned down a youth in need of eye care for lack of funds! The Club raises funds through a variety of activities, including White Cane Day, Lions’ Christmas Tree Lot, Nicene Marks Marathon and the Lions Bowl All-Star High School football game. 100% of the funds raised are given back to the community. The Santa Cruz Host Lions Club is somewhat unique in that it has 32 Past Presidents still active in the club. – Al McCommon |
