The
Interlachen Lions Club is a member club of Lions Clubs
International, the largest service organization in the
world. Dubbed Knights of the Blind by Helen Keller, Lions
Club members work to raise funds to support their
charities which are aimed at helping sight or hearing
impaired persons and at educating everyone about
conditions and diseases which affect sight and hearing,
such as diabetes and glaucoma.
The Interlachen Lions Club supports all of the Lions
charities as well as their local projects of scholarships
for Interlachen High School graduates, vision screening, a
community health fair, four volunteer fire departments,
Little League baseball, organizations for senior citizens,
the Civil Air Patrol, the award-winning Interlachen High
School Band, and other local school and community projects
aimed at helping others.
Membership is by invitation only. Those interested in
becoming a member of this 50 member strong leadership
organization should contact the club secretary or club
president to receive an invitation to visit a meeting in
order to be considered for membership.
Our motto is "We Serve." We do serve, our
community, our state, our nation and the world. We do so
with much laughter and hard work. We invited all to come
to our community projects and participate with us in the
fight to end preventable blindness throughout the world.

Sight First
II Car Sweeps
Do you need a new car?
Would $20,000 help you out?
The Lions
of District 35-L are ready to help! In order to raise money for
the Lions International Sight First II Campaign to end preventable
Blindness throughout the world, the Lions of District 35-L, including
those of the Interlachen Lions Club, are selling 1,000 tickets for a
sweepstakes. The prize is a new Chrysler automobile or $20,000,
winner's choice. Each ticket is $100 and when the 1,000 have been
sold, there will be no more. The grand drawing will be held at the
cabinet meeting on April 12th at the Interlachen Lions Den.
