The Maple Grove Lions support the activities of Lions International and also work very actively within the Maple Grove area donating money and time to further our community and make it a better place to live and work. Check out our  Current Projects page to learn more.

The Maple Grove Lions are always looking for the best way to spend the money that we raise each year. If you know of a worthy cause within the local area that could use the support of the Maple Grove Lions, please fill out our

Request for Charitable Donation form. 

Our charitable review committee will carefully review each request and make a recommendation to our board of directors. Although we cannot possibly satisfy all of the requests that are presented to us, we will respond to every request.

Recent Activities

Last update, September 15, 2009

This page is an effort to recap and relive recent memorable (and some not so memorable) events with the Maple Grove Lions.
There are a lot of pictures here and they may take a couple of minutes to down load. Be patient, they are worth the wait.
Watch for pictures of our most recent events.

1st Annual

"Gift Of Sight Classic"

Golf Tournament

 

Friday, August 25th 2006, we held the first annual

Gift Of Sight Classic Golf Tournament.

The event was held at Pheasant Acres, just north of Corcoran and South of Rogers on County Road 116.

As a result we will be splitting over $8500 between our three sight related charities.

 

The Minnesota Lions Eye Bank

International Lions Sight First Program

Leader Dogs For The Blind

 

A big thank you to all of our sponsors, golfers, and prize contributors, along with the organizational committee.

We have continued holding the Gift Of Sight Classic for the last 4 years and look forward to seeing everyone on the course in 2010.

Maple Grove Days Corn Feed 

was held again this year and we served 500 dozen ears of corn along with many pounds of hamburger, hot dogs, bratwurst, and chicken. This was the largest event of the year for the lions and we had a great turnout.

The 25th Annual Maple Grove Lions Pancake Breakfast and Dande-Lions Bake Sale was held in April of 2006.

  Breakfast With Santa December 3rd, 2005. 

  22nd Annual Holiday Food Basket Assembly and Distribution.

A collaboration between the Maple Grove Lions and the Maple Grove Firefighters Relief Association. December, 2006.  This is a continuing event and we will be doing it again this December.

We rang bells for The Salvation Army again this year on 12/10/2005 at the Maple Grove Wal-Mart and also at Sam's Club.

August 28, 2001, saw the Groundbreaking for the new Maple Grove Lions Picnic Pavilion. The project is complete. Come check it out.
 

The Maple Grove Lions and the Maple Grove Dande-Lions joined forces and resources to purchase and present 3 infrared scopes to the Maple Grove Fire Department. These scopes are able to detect the bodyheat of a person trapped or incapacitated in a smoke filled building to allow for their rescue. This addition to the firefighters resources may help to save a life.
