Lions Hold Many Activities to Raise Money for Charity

Club service activities include the purchase of eyeglasses and hearing aids for members of the community. Collection of used eyeglasses for use overseas and eyeglasses for recycling for donation to the needy. Use of the Lions' Mobile Screening Van to provide community residents with free hearing and vision tests. Purchase and distribution of Thanksgiving Baskets to those less fortunate. The club holds a yearly Christmas Party for mentally and physically challenged adults which includes dinner, dancing, and presents from Santa to each participant. The club also teams up with the Aquia Evening Lions and works a Safety Break stop on I95 North on New Years Day. We also sponsor numerous youth activities.

The Aquia Harbour Host Lions are very busy throughout the year in our community and have various fundraisers to support the many worthy causes we contribute too. Some of our fundraisers include: Christmas Tree Sales November thru December, White House Christmas Ornaments, a Reverse Raffle held in October, White Cane Days held in May, Mulch Sales held March,and Texas Hold-em tournament twice a year.

Each year the Aquia Harbour Host Lions raise over $30,000 on our successful fundraisers, with all monies collected going back to the community. Here are a few examples of where the money you donate is used: eye exams (sight) and glasses for the less fortunate, scholarships for local High Schools, Thanksgiving Baskets, Christmas Party for the Handicapped, Hearing Exams and Hearing Aids for the less fortunate, and District Activities like Leader Dog and the Old Dominion Eye Bank.

Club social activities include bi-monthly dinner meetings plus several events for which members can bring spouses and/or other guests. These special events include a Christmas Social, Charter Night and Installation Night
