Club Charter Night – 65 Years

Our club celebrated 65 years of service to the Belton, MO community and Lions Clubs International. There have been many changes in Lions during this period of time but our club has held steadfast to its service commitment to our community and to the ideals of Lionism.

We are honored that many came and celebrated with us; honoring those Lions that came before us and all the Lions in our club that continue in service today.

Our keynote speaker for this event was Lion Donal Knipp, Past International Director from the state of Missouri. He and his spouse Lion Betty made our celebration very special and we truly thank them for being with us.

PID Donal Knipp shares his views on the value this club is to the Belton, MO community.
