Is on a Mission ...
When caring people join together, roll up their sleeves and take action to make their community better, it’s a beautiful thing—and an incredible feeling for everyone involved. That’s Lions. That’s community.
Being a Lion is about leading by example, building relationships, and improving the world through kindness. It’s 1.4 million caring men and women serving together so they can make a lasting impact and change more lives.
Lions Clubs International Global Causes present significant challenges to humanity, and we believe it’s our turn to meet them. The Iron River Lions Club is grateful to be part of fulfilling this mission.
