The two-year old Kings Lions Club, which makes its home in Lemoore, may just be the young pup on the block, recently at the Lions District 4-A2 58th Annual Convention in Cayucos, the local service club came away with top honors, and was named the District’s top organization.

 There are 59 Lions Clubs in the Valley District, and because of all the work the local Lions club has done this year, District Governor Anthony T. Martinez awarded the Kings Lions the Governor’s Top Club Award.

“The list of their accomplishments is clearly very impressive,” said Martinez.  “The Kings Lions Club has provided significant contributions and has enabled many organizations and families to not have to go without.”

According to Ray Etchegoin, Kings Lions Club 1st Vice President, “The Kings Lions strive to meet the needs of those in Lemoore as well as our surrounding communities and we have fun doing it.  Working together locally and internationally, the worldwide network of Lions has vastly more resources and is able to accomplish much more than individuals and small groups working alone.  It is an honor to be recognized for our efforts among our peers.”

The Kings Lions Club has 40 members and meets on the 1st, 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 6:30 P.M. at the Lemoore Senior Center, (789 S. Lemoore Avenue.)  Lions clubs are a group of men and women who identify needs within the community and work together to fulfill those needs.  For more information or to get involved with the Kings Lions Club, please contact Tom Wells, Club President, at (559) 410-0336.
