Who we are
A small-town club with a big-hearted mission.
The Wales-Genesee Lions Club is a chapter of Lions Clubs International — the world's largest service organization. Chartered in 1952, our members are everyday neighbors who give their time so that families across our community can see better, eat better, and thrive.
From eye screenings to scholarships, food drives to our beloved pancake breakfasts, every dollar we raise stays close to home. We meet in the historic Genesee Depot town hall, built in 1912 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
- Part of Wisconsin Lions District 27-A1
- Funds raised locally stay local
- Open to new members year-round
