Plainfield Indiana Lions Club
"WE SERVE"
"We Serve" is a way of life for the Plainfield Lions Club. The community in which we live is a very important part of each lion's life so through dedication and pride we carry on that proud tradition of serving. We belong to an elite group of people who's dedication to helping the needy and the blind alike sets us above all other orginazations. The Lions Clubs International has the distinct honor of being the oldest and largest service orginazation in the world. The Lions Clubs International is serving in 200 countries with a membership totaling over 1.4 million members. There are over 45,000 clubs across the globe.
We incourage anyone who feels a need to serve their community to come join us at one of our meetings and share in the fellowship. And of course we invite you to join our organization and become a member of this very worthwhile club.
We meet on the 1st and 3rd mondays of each month at 6:00 pm at Goody's restaurant in Plainfield at the intersection of U.S. 40 and S.R. 267.
