Making our communities and the world better places to live.

We know that life can get busy sometimes. Between work, kids, school, sports events, etc sometimes we have little time for ourselves or others.
However, we have found that offering to spend some time volunteering in our community can have a major impact on our attitude and help our real estate business and other aspects of our lives.
If you are not already a member of a community service group, you may want to check into it.  We are members of the Marysville Lions Club.
Lions club members are men and women who strive to make a difference in their local community as well as in communities worldwide. Their volunteer efforts go beyond the support of vision care, to addressing unmet health and education needs worldwide.
Our 1.3 million men and women in 200 countries and geographic areas conduct vision and health screenings, build parks, support eye hospitals, award scholarships, assist youth, provide help in time of disaster and much more.

Join us in making our communities and the world better places to live.

Our clubs meet the needs of our local communities and the world.
We make a difference everyday in your community. Whether it is providing support locally or reaching out internationally, you will have an opportunity to serve.
Be a part of a worldwide organization carrying out community and humanitarian projects. 
Grow personally and professionally by participating in our programs, community service projects and events.
Gain an understanding and have an impact on local and international humanitarian issues. 
Develop relationships with both local and international community and business leaders. 
Have access to membership discounts and services.

Most clubs meet either weekly or every other week.  Usually they meet for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Most will meet at a local restaurant or a community center.
Usually members are expected to attend service projects (our club averages about 4-6hrs per month for service projects)
These projects can range from helping cleaning up a park, collecting for food drives, building projects, or a host of other needs that the community might have.
