Georgetown Lions, Where Community and Service are Important

Our club is part of the Lions of Indiana District 25-E and glad you have come to our website to see what we are all about.

Early meetings were held at Aunt Bee's Restaurant and migrated to the Georgetown Christian Life Center on the west side of town as membership and resource demands grew.
