WHO WE ARE
The Pinetop Lions Club was chartered in May of 1960 by the International
Association of lions Clubs. As our Lions International motto "We
Serve" indicates, we are a group of civic-minded men and women who work
to assist those who are less fortunate in our community and beyond. We are in
Lions International District 21-C and Multiple District 21 (Arizona).
MEETINGS
Our dessert & business meeting begins at 6:00 pm on the first Tuesday
evening of the month at the Lakeside Senior
Citizens Center in Lakeside. We have a dinner & program meeting on the
third Tuesday of each month beginning at 6:00 pm, Contact us at 369-2409 email notes2@cybertrails.com or 367-2462
email mcbitt@wmonline.com for information. Meetings run from 60 to 90 minutes in length. At our dessert
meetings, the dessert is provided by individual members on a rotation basis
