2015 Grand Marshall THE EAST JORDAN LIONS CLUB was chartered in May 1968 with 25 members. Three of the original members are still active in the club: Don Peters, Jim Shepard and Bruce Woodcock. Membership has stayed steady at 25-30 and includes men and women. With a motto WE SERVE, the club has been involved in many community projects ranging from the annual Mother Daughter Banquet, building the pavilion and the children’s playground at the East Jordan Tourist Park. Lions also spearheaded the successful Lighted Christmas Village. Lions support Leader Dogs for the Blind and provide financial assistance for sight or hearing assistance for area residents in need. East Jordan Lions can be counted on to help with community projects such as installing the electronic sign, and painting and decorating the train at Memorial Park for the Christmas holidays. The Club has just completed the development of a Disc Golf Course at the Community Park.
