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 needing it! Simple as that! With 50 members strong, the Lind Lions Club continues to donate their time, and effort to the Lind Community. Plans for the 25th  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 5,000 (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!"

Just what did our Lind Lions Club really do for the Lind community in 2011? They installed a new chain-link fence on the west and south sides of the Arena grounds, added some additional RV parking, provided space for the FFA and ASB concession stands, improved the main gate ticket booth, and sponsored and donated to the following:

In 2011-2012:

The Lind Lions Club supports and sponsors many individuals and families quietly and behind the scenes. They donate meals to needy families during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays with food baskets including turkeys, potatoes, vegetables, all the trimmings, and homemade pie. They have purchased many winter coats, gloves and hats for Lind kids and occasionally sport's gear. They provide swimming passes so that all Lind's children can take advantage of the Lind swimming pool in the summer. They purchase glasses for Lind's children, donate to the Lind EMT's, Lind Fire District, and they recently purchased a defibrillator for the high school building.

Last year, Multiple District 19F (Lind Lions Club) earned the competition award for the most new member. 15 names were added to the membership role. This 50 strong membership results in success!  

Don't criticize this group of men who are diligent about their purpose in the Lind Community. As one member says, "That's what we're about...seeing to it that our Lind kids have the support of our organization. Maybe you could help out.

Hats off to the only service organization in the town. Thanks for always going "above and beyond the call of duty!"
