Denver Lions

🌞 It's going to be a hot weekend!

You know what's great to do when the temperatures rise?

🚣 Dragon boat racing.

Okay, maybe not this weekend. Race Day isn't until August. But there's no time like the present to start building those rowing muscles!

Whether you're hitting the gym, taking a walk, enjoying the outdoors, or simply staying active, every workout gets you one step closer to being race-ready.

Who knows? By August, those biceps might just be dragon boat worthy. 💪🐉

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and enjoy the weekend!

👓 Volunteer Opportunity

The Colorado Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center (COLERC) is seeking a Lion to help manage discarded eyeglasses that are collected for recycling.

This important role helps ensure unusable eyeglasses are properly collected and shipped for recycling, supporting the ongoing work of COLERC and our commitment to vision programs.

The time commitment is minimal, training will be provided, and a detailed job description is available. This position is currently handled by two dedicated volunteers in their 80s and would benefit from a newer volunteer stepping into the role.

Questions? Please reach out to Dan Kiel for more information.

Change doesn't happen because someone else steps forward.

It happens because ordinary people decide to make a difference.

Every act of service, every volunteer hour, every pair of eyeglasses donated, every family supported—it all starts with someone choosing to care.

At the Lions Club of Denver, we believe that if you want to see a stronger, kinder, more connected community, the best place to begin is with your own two hands.

Be the change you wish to see in the world. You might be surprised by how many lives you touch along the way.

"We Serve" is more than a motto—it's what Lions do.

Join us for a volunteer opportunity at COLERC and help make a difference in our community. Whether you can stay for an hour or the entire afternoon, your time and effort are appreciated.

Bring your family and friends! It's a wonderful opportunity to introduce young people to the value of volunteering and community service. Everyone can play a part in helping others.

📅 Sunday, June 28
⏰ Noon – 3:00 PM

📍 COLERC
4605 Monaco Street
Denver, CO 80216

Come when you can. Stay as long as you'd like. Together, we can accomplish great things.
