Membership Information

The SCOTTS VALLEY HOST LIONS CLUB was formed in 1969. It was sponsored by the EAST SANTA CRUZ LIONS CLUB. The Scotts Valley Host Lions Club began with 30 members. Today the membership averages about 50 members, making it one of the largest clubs in the 4-C6 district.

Membership in a LIONS CLUB is rewarding in many ways. The fellowships of our meetings are only a part of what we have to offer. You will make many new friends in the Scotts Valley area, but the most rewarding experience are found in providing services to our community. Knowing that you are helping those less fortunate than you is one of life's greatest pleasures.

The Club meets Tuesdays at 7:00am for a continental breakfast, except on the first Tuesday of the month, we have a dinner meeting at 6:30pm. We meet at the Scotts Valley Senior Center. Varied and interesting programs are scheduled for each of the meetings. The guest speakers represent various businesses, groups, and city and county government agencies as well as organizations we sponsor. They keep our members informed and entertained. Our meetings are open and Guests are welcome.

The Board of Directors meet once a month, at the Scotts Valley Fire Department, on Erba Lane. The meeting is held on the second Thursday of the month, starting at 7:00pm. All members are encouraged to attend. The Board of Directors vote on expenditures, schedule activities, and consider new events. The Club meeting immediately following the Board meeting is a business meeting. In lieu of a guest speaker, the Board actions are discussed.

The membership of the Club is comprised mainly of leaders in our community. Our Club is comprised of men and women ranging from early 20's and up. The membership is open to both men and women of all ages. Our members come from all walks of life and represent a large cross-section of retail, industry, services, and other professions.

Membership in the Scotts Valley Host Lions Club allows a unique opportunity to network with local business leaders, increasing your contacts within the community and becoming more familiar with the services they offer. It allows you to do business with a friend instead of a complete stranger.
