Serving the Communities of Charlemont, Hawley, Heath, and Rowe, And the rest of the World.

WHO WE ARE

The Charlemont Lions Club is one of over 44,560 clubs that are the International Association of Lions Clubs. There are nearly 1.4 million Lions worldwide, making it the largest service organization in the world. We received our charter in 1947, so we have been around for over 50 years.

Our club has been recognized as the Best Small Lions Club in the District numerous times in the past and two years ago as the Best Small Lions Club in the State.

Our local focus is on the communities of Charlemont, Hawley, Heath and Rowe. We also support activities in other areas of the state, as well as the International Association's disaster and relief fund, Lions Club International Foundation. The listing on the next pages shows just how broad our reach is at helping others.

The members of the Charlemont Lions Club are men and women from the community, joined together to help others. We receive no monetary compensation for our work, only the satisfaction we get from helping others. Perhaps you have what it takes to be a Lion?
