The Pineville Lions Club reported a highly active and successful weekend highlighted by community outreach efforts and participation in statewide Lions Club events.

The club hosted its first-ever Community Resource Fair, an event organizers described as a success, with several community members reached and assistance provided throughout the day. Club members said the event offered valuable lessons and momentum as planning begins for next year’s fair. Pineville Lions Shelli and Tonya were recognized for their leadership and dedication in organizing the event, along with club members Tom, Hershal, Elaine, Bill, Steve, and Marc, who assisted during the fair.

In addition to local service efforts, the Pineville Lions Club was represented at the Lions of Louisiana (LIO) Conference held at the Louisiana Lions Camp. Pineville Lion and Camp Board Member Sebastian attended the conference on Saturday, representing the club while networking with Lions from across the state and gaining insight into Lions Club initiatives.

On Sunday, Pineville Lion Marc attended the conference’s closing breakfast, where he met International Director Lion Dave Wineman of Michigan. During the event, Marc was surprised with the International President’s Award in recognition of excellence in service and going above and beyond in his commitment to Lionism.

Club members described the weekend as a strong example of service, leadership, and fellowship, reflecting the Pineville Lions Club’s ongoing commitment to community involvement and service.
