Lind Lions Club

Ask any small town community member "Just what does Lind have that would appeal to a visitor"? It may take a few minutes for a logical and meaningful response, but he/she will usually say, "Well, it takes a group of men and community volunteers who hold the heart of Lind in their hands". Not only are they visible in the community, they also take pride in quietly helping individuals or groups.

The objectives of the Lind Lions Club are simple: Support all of the youth organizations in the community, and then give a helping hand to any other organization who needs it! Simple as that! With 50 members strong, the Lind Lions Club continue to donate their time, and effort to the Lind Community. Plans for the 21st Combine Demolition Derby™ are currently underway, a weekend continuing to add to the warmth and appealing nature of the club and community. It's apparent, too, when the arena stands are filled "to the brim" with 4,500 (or more) visitors who travel from all parts of the United States to attend the 3-day celebration. Ask a visitor to describe the derby and you'll hear, (among other things) that the derby is "Unusual, Weird, Entertaining, Unique, Unbelievable and Awesome!"

The Lions also (quietly) support many in need. They purchase coats, gloves, hats, glasses, and food. They work IN the community, and FOR the community. They are always looking for new members, and welcome all who show an interest in the Lind Community. Instead of criticize them, do your part, join the group, and help out.

This community needs you!
