WHO WE ARE
Our Urbandale Lions Club welcomes men and women interested in joining an active service organization that is working to serve the needs of their local communities, their state, nation and the world. The Urbandale community has a Breakfast Lions Club, a Lioness Club and our evening Lions Club.
The evening Urbandale Lions Club has been a service club since 1946. We have had a hand in almost every civic project that has taken place in Urbandale and we look with pride at what has been accomplished in our community.
We meet at the Ralph Whitten Shelter House at 72nd and Prairie from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Our monthly dinner meeting is held on the 4th Thursday of every month and includes a program filled with fun, laughter and discussion on how to better serve our community.
