We Serve

The Armonk Lions Club is a member of the worldwide Lions International, which has over 45,000 clubs and just under 1.4 million members in 205 countries. Lions work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world. The purpose of our club, like its counterparts all over the world, is to participate in community service projects, to help people in need, and to raise money for charitable causes. Our annual fundraiser, the Fol-De-Rol Festival and Crafts in the Park, makes our charitable giving and community projects possible. It also is  an opportunity for fun and enjoyment for our entire town and beyond.

The Armonk Lions have been able to contribute substantially to the betterment of many others. The Armonk Lions Club has underwritten many projects in order to make the community and town of Armonk a better and safer place to live.
