Boone Area Lions Club
The Lions Club boasts 45,000 clubs and 1.3 million members, making it the world’s largest service club organization.

“The Lions Club was the first civic club in Boone,” said Vice President Terry Cole.

“Our primary service is [to] the blind and the hard of hearing,” he said. “At the local level, we provide glasses, eye exams and hearing aids for people [and we offer a scholarship through Caldwell Community College for a child whose parents are blind, deaf or have had an organ transplant. We collect eye wills and work with the N.C. Eye and Human Tissues Bank in Winston-Salem.”

The club’s two main fundraisers are an early spring pancake breakfast and the Valle Crucis Fair, where the club holds a raffle and sells two kinds of brooms made by the blind.

At the statewide level, the Boone Area Lions Club supports the N.C. Lions Association for the blind.

“We encourage anyone who would like to join us to join us,” Cole said.
