Become A Half Moon Bay Lion!

Lions Clubs were founded in 1917 and with over 1.4 million members worldwide (the largest service organization in the world) we strive to be the global leader in community and humanitarian service.

 

The Half Moon Bay club has been serving the Coastside since 1947 and it’s current 33 members work throughout the community to support and assist local organizations and needs. From serving hamburgers at local events to free vision testing in the schools our feet are on the ground in our community.

 

Our meetings are held twice a month on the first and third Monday evenings at the Half Moon Bay Brewing company in the back rooma and start at 6:30 PM.  It is a dinner meeting and most people have dinner but it is not required. Business is conducted before and after dinner arrives with social fellowship while we dine. 

We would love to have you attend as our guest if you would like to come check out the club?
