Las Vegas Las Americas Lions Club, Las Vegas, NV

Aging like fine wine

We are reopening our club again. Anyone interested in serving our community is welcome to join us.

We are trying to reopen our Club again. If you are interested please let us know.

Sorry to say that this Lions club was disbanded quite a while ago!!

Las Americas Lions Club is no longer active. It has been renamed, now we are known as Las Vegas Battle Born LIons Club, look for our new page.

On July 21st. 3 members of our club , my son Thomas included, visited with the children from Camp Lotz of Fun, up by Mt Potosi, a Lions funded camp. We hosted their Taco Tuesday lunch. Our member Bernardino Martinez donated the cooked meat, Agustin Galvez donated the tortillas and I cooked confetti rice and refried beans. Cristina Sowinski donated the condiments and she and my son did the prepping and assembled the tacos. The kids loved their lunch, the grownups did too. Christina's Senior group from the Flamingo community center made and donated 60 plus blankets to the kids that they could take home. It was a wonderful day!!

We will post photos of the murals as soon as they are finished.

The members of our club visited Child Haven this evening. We are adopting 2 rooms of the facility, we will be painting murals in the rooms occupied by 1 to 5 year olds,who by some twist of fate have wound up there. We hope the murals will bring them a little ray of sunshine, and brighten their day when they look at them..

After 9 years, my Lions service partner Carole Lee Skirvin and I, fed the kids at the Salvation Army Say Kids Club for the last time. It has been a labor of love but it was time to look for another service project. The kids made me feel bad, they hugged us and made posters for us and signed them saying how much they loved us. We have seen some of these kids grow up and go off to the Marines. I have asked God to enlighten me and lead me to a project where we can make a difference just like we did here. Any ideas?
