Flags Over Sunsites
Show your patriotism by displaying a flag in front of your home or business during ten major holidays throughout the year. The Lions Club will provide the flag, display it in the morning and remove it at the end of the day. The subscription fee for this service is only $40.00 a year and the money goes to eye care and other needs in the community. You may print this application to subscribe.
Lions Arizona District 21-S Kickoff
The Lions Arizona 21-S Kickoff Convention is a vibrant and spirited beginning to the 2026-2027 Lionistic year, held on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at the United Methodist Church in Chandler, Arizona. Hosted by District Governor Ed Lopez, the event is more than a traditional meeting — it’s a celebratory gathering where Lions are encouraged to come casual, sport their funniest hats, and bring plenty of enthusiasm (and noisemakers) to mark the start of another impactful year of service.
The Kickoff includes a Cabinet Meeting, district project displays, lunch, and engaging, upbeat activities that reflect the “Big Fun” theme. It’s also an opportunity for networking, recognizing creativity in club projects, and reinforcing the district’s mission to enhance communication and foster fellowship among Lions. The event supports a broader set of initiatives announced in the Canyon State Lion August 2026 issue, including a renewed focus on mental health, ongoing service-based competitions and enhanced digital infrastructure across Lions clubs in Arizona.
Vision Screenings
When school starts in the fall, we provide eye screenings for several elementary schools in the area using SpotVision machines. We also sponsor the Arizona Vision Center eye mobile twice a year at the Sunsites Community Center. Our greatest service is to provide eye exams and glasses for those who cannot afford them. We collect eye glasses, hearing aids and cell phones at several locations in Sunsites for recycling.
