First and Third Wednesdays Meeting

We usually meet at the Acton Community Clubhouse on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 7.30 pm. Come to our next meeting and find out more.....

First Sunday Mornings, March through October Pancake Breakfast

We serve pancake breakfasts and breakfast burritos the first Sunday morning of every month starting March 1. We raise funds by preparing breakfasts to order at the Acton Community Club from 8.00 to 11.00. The orders are delivered by members of youth groups who partner with us in rotation.

We also sell sunglasses.

A body could come in to eat and leave looking more stylish than when he entered.

For more information or to volunteer contact Lion Lucy Sweron through webmaster@actoncalions.com
