Grafton Lions Club Making a Difference
The Grafton Lions Club is a ‘service’ organization focused on serving the needs of others in Grafton but it is also much more. We are a diverse group of local men and women who enjoy working together to make a difference in our local community and beyond. We strive to help families in need, support community programs and provide financial assistance to the disabled, underprivileged, elderly and youth of our community and internationally. We are also a social organization made up of men and women who enjoy meeting new people, working together and having a good time in the process.Whether attending one of our regular dinner meetings, working an event such as the Haunted Woods Hayride, Golf Tournament or Senior Citizens Dinners, Grafton Lions thoroughly enjoy themselves. As a Lion you will meet new friends in town and become part of a Lions network you can always rely upon should you ever have a need of assistance yourself.
Spouses and significant others also play an important part in all aspects of our club. Not only do they help at our events but they’re also included in dinner meetings and at our frequent social gatherings. We also welcome spouses and or significant others to become members.
Our primary charitable function is to contribute to and promote sight and hearing projects. To this end, we collect and donate used eyeglasses, provide a ‘Sight-Mobile’ for use at community and school functions and donate proceeds from our projects to Massachusetts Lions Eye Research fund.
We enjoy the fellowship and interactions of planning fundraising events, such as our Haunted Woods Hayride and Charity Golf Tournament and our Annual July 3rd concert. We meet every 2nd and 4th Wednesday at our lions building located at 68 Brigham Hill Rd., Grafton Massachusetts.
We welcome new members who share our passion to serve our community. Click this link to find out more on how to join
