The Bethel Park Lions Club was organized on December 9, 1942 and the Charter was presented on February 9, 1943. The Club was organized by a small group of men for the purpose of service to the community and the support of community needs. Today the Club's purpose is continued by the over sixty men and women who are currently members.
