Abilene Cactus Lions Club

** Membership **

Becoming a member of Lions Clubs International is mutually beneficial to both the member and the club. Through membership in a Lions club, people not only help those in need, but have opportunities to develop personal friendships and gain valuable leadership skills. These benefits can only be realized when there is a total commitment by both parties.

The initial membership fee for the Cacutus Lions Club is $57 which includes the first month's dues and a subscription to The Lion magazine. Monthly dues are $35 which includes the luncheon costs plus local, state, and international membership fees.
