Upcoming Service Events: Check the sign-up sheet often because more service events are still being added! While the minimum number of required events is 3, we encourage you to go to as many as you want. This is posted on the Lions Club website https://msulionsclub.wixsite.com/lions under the Service Opportunities tab - it is a Google Sheet.
