Zilwaukee Lions Club

The Zilwaukee Lions Club was chartered April 9, 1956, sponsored by the Saginaw Lions Club. There were 34 charter members and the first president was Claude Meehleder.

The moto of Lions Club International is "We Serve." Since the beginning, the Zilwaukee Lions Club has succeeded in living up to that motto, not only in support of the community, but in support of the State and International Programs to help the blind and prevent blindness throughout the world.

In the last 48 years, the Club has done much to help the community. It has provided eye glasses for those who in need, took blind men fishing, donated picnic tables for the community park, purchased raincoats and helmets for the Zilwaukee Safety Patrol. In addition they purchased a CB base station and radio for a paraplegic, donated to St. Mary's Burn Unit, built a pavilion at Johnson Park, purchased a flag for the City Administration Building, paid for landscaping next to the City Administration Building, moved the veterans monument, restored the old Zilwaukee School bell and constructed its bell tower, maintained and improved for many years the Riverfront Park and the Boat Launch facilities and did many other actions for the benefit of the community.

Currently, the club has 22 active members, Lion Rolland Spencer is president, Bert Rivette is secretary, and Tom Jarzabkowski is treasurer.

The Club meets the 2nd & 4th Mondays of each month at the City Administration Bldg from September to June.
