OUR HISTORY
The Delta-Menominee “Heart of the North” Lions Club was officially chartered in May, 2004. We chartered 44 members and joined 66 other Lions Clubs in Single District 10, which encompasses the entire Upper Peninsula.
Over the winter of 2004, the club evolved. About six women got together and discussed forming a club. At the next meeting, there were a dozen women and the idea grew from there. As of June 2007, we have 38 members. These women are from Bark River, Escanaba, Gladstone, Perronville, Wilson, and Crivitz, WI. We invite anyone in any of the surrounding areas to join our club.
In 2004, the Delta-Menominee “Heart of the North” Lions Club was only the second club consisting of all women in the Upper Peninsula. The only other club is Ishpeming’s Tri-Township Lions Club.
Our 1st Annual Flea Market was held July, 2005. It was a wonderful success and we look forward to many more in the future. Our 3rd Annual Flea Market will be held June 29-30, 2007. We look forward to seeing you there.
We are extremely thankful to the Bark River Lions Club for sponsoring our club and helping us with many of our functions. We also thank our Guiding Lions, Bruce LaBelle and PDG Joe Potvin and also PDG Harold Schermer. You were all instrumental in developing this club. We cannot thank you enough.
