Easley Lions Run
for Sight Road Race

The Easley Lions Club meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month at 7pm in the Kimberly Hampton Memorial Library in Easley. A catered meal from Taste of Distinction is served at each meeting. Our meetings usually include a special speaker whose topics can vary from local issues and concerns to international and global interests. The Easley Lions Club's goal is to promote sight conservation in the Easley community. We are proud of the fact that we are citizens helping fellow citizens who are in need of eye exams and eyeglasses. Many of the folks we serve are elderly and government programs do not pay for all of their eye needs. In the last year the Easley Club raised and spent over $10,000.00 on these services locally. There continues to be a need for these services. The Easley Lions Club organizes a variety of events throughout the year to raise funds for these services. We always have Brooms to sell and Lions Candy to pass out.

Annually, we do a Pancake Breakfast and Bake Sale at Gettys Middle School and a Spaghetti Dinner at Easley Presbyterian Church. Every other year we hold a Huge Yard Sale at the First Baptist Church in Easley. Last year we joined the world of runners with our Lions Run For Sight fundraiser. We also collect used glasses, hearing aides, and ink cartridges.

Not all of our activities are fundraisers, though. We also, as a club, participate in Adopt-a-Highway, Meals on Wheels, and SHINE (a local program for feeding the hungry). We collect magazines to donate to our local hospital.

Again, we are a club made up of folks from the Easley area who believe in putting back into our community and helping our neighbors who need help.

We are a Lions Club that takes seriously the charge given to us by Helen Keller to serve, and most importantly, to serve those with sight problems.
