Chartered on June 15th,
1949, in Multiple District 21-A, the Prescott Noon Lions Club was sponsored
by the Glendale (AZ) Lions Club. The Club now belongs to Multiple District
21-C which has six regions and 0ver 4300 members.
The Lions Club was founded in 1917 by Melvin Jones. He was the
Secretary of a local businessman's club when he was asked, "What if these
men's talents could be put to work in unselfish service to others?" Starting
in 1916, he began to write to other businessmen's clubs soliciting their
comments on forming a national club. Despite some responses to essentially
"mind his own business", he persisted in his efforts and on June 17th,
1917, twenty delegates representing 27 clubs from various parts of the
country met to form what is now known as Lion Clubs, International.
The Lions Club Motto: We
Serve.

Downtown Prescott, AZ
Members of the Prescott Noon Lions Club meet every Wednesday to socialize
and enlist member participation in various activities in Prescott and
Yavapai County that benefit local charities and organizations that service
sight and hearing impaired local citizens, as well as other worthy causes in
our area. Our always-present newspaper recycling bins, serviced by member-
staffed paper recycling crews meeting twice a week at our recycling facility
have resulted in over $200,000 in yearly donations in past years. Food
booths, pancake breakfasts and other fund-raising efforts throughout the
year allow our members to proudly serve our community. With male Lions Club
membership and female Lioness Club membership, we can give back to our
community and enjoy a lively social gathering with our fellow members.

funds that the Prescott Noon Lions raise and distribute to local charities is
the recycling of newspapers by our paper crews. Below is a listing of current locations of bins and
trailers in Prescott where you can deposit your bagged or tied newspapers,
