The Del Sol Lions Club was chartered Feb. 15, 2010. It is part of Lions Clubs International, the world’s largest service club organization with more than 1.35 million members in more than 45,000 clubs worldwide. Lions serve those less fortunate locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
Within its first year Del Sol members completed a variety of projects. They included providing Thanksgiving dinner for Solana Beach residents in need, preparing items for the annual Holiday Basket Program at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, providing partial funding for an audible crosswalk signal on Lomas Santa Fe Drive just east of Vons and escorting members of the Blind Community Center to the Del Mar horse races.
In addition, they helped create the Lions Clubs International float for this year’s Tournament of Roses in Pasadena.
The club also adopted the Solana Beach train station. A ceremony commemorating this first-of-its kind partnership will be held at 4 p.m. May 11 at the station.
Members are currently preparing for the club’s first fundraiser, set for May 14 at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. Money raised will help fund upcoming service projects.
The board meets from 6 to 7 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month. Member meetings are held from 6 to 7 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of every month. Annual dues is $85 per person or $150 per couple. Additional family members are $65 each.
Pending city approval, Del Sol Lions will begin meeting at the renovated Fletcher Cove Community Center in July.
