Welcome to the Poulsbo Lions Club

The best way to experience Lions Club is to join us for lunch. Stop by our Thursday meeting to visit with us and we'll buy your lunch and treat you to one of our guest speakers - just for seeing what we're all about.

Our Poulsbo Noon Lions meet Thursdays from 12:15-1:15 p.m. at the Social Hall at First Lutheran Church on 4th Avenue. Email Linda Schwind, membership chair, at schwindl@comcast.net if you would like to attend or call Linda at (360) 649-8972.

For those who can't get away during the day, our Evening Pride Branch Club meets the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month at 7 pm in Gallagher Hall, next to St. Olaf Church, Caldart Avenue. Contact Dave Risley at davidrisley@comcast.net or 360-930-2751.
