Prayers for World of Life’s successful contributions to the welfare of our community are requested from all residents.

Wayland Lions Club members approved a donation to Little Me & Company. Daycare expenses have increased leading to additional funds being required to cover these expenses for this valuable service to our community.

Wayland Lions are considering a fundraising event in the future to further assist Little Me & Company.

Guest Speakers for future meetings are being considered to address the needs of the Wayland Communities.

We seek members who enjoy meeting new people, like to help their fellow man in need of assistance and to contribute in positive ways that Lions do.

These are just a few of our Local & International Lions contributions.) (Lions Clubs in over 210 countries, 47,000+ Lions Clubs and 1.5 Million+ members)
