Membership in Lions Clubs

Lions Club membership is by invitation only. Joining a Lions Club allows you the opportunity to work with other civic-minded members of the community and help you give back to your community. Lions Clubs across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts work tirelessly to raise money for charitable causes. This is done through various means including pancake breakfasts, raffles, and other charitable events. One hundred percent of the funds we raise are returned to a charitable cause, none of the funds raised are used for the administrative costs associated with maintaining a Lions Club in good standing.


Lions Clubs Dues

Members of every Lions Club are expected to pay their fair share of dues. The dues that are paid are used for expenses including paying our fair share of expenses for Lions Clubs International, Multiple District 33, District 33K, and the expenses associated with maintaining a club including member recognition, speakers’ fees, etc. Each Club sets the amount of dues their membership will pay.


Membership Expectations

Each Lions Club expects members who have joined their club to participate in their events. In some cases, there are a minimum number of events a member is expected to attend on an annual basis. This number may be as few as four and includes fundraising events, community awareness events, and more. Your time commitment should be discussed with your Lions Club sponsoring member and the membership committee of your Club.

Consider visiting your local Lions Club or attending an event they are sponsoring. See how a group of dedicated individuals make a difference in their community every day.
