Mission & Membership

Our Mission

To partner with individuals and organizations to improve our community and to help those we serve.

To be the premier service club in San Diego composed of members actively committed to community service and fellowship.

Why Join?

You simply won’t find a better place to invest your time, talents, and energy. The benefits are endless and the camaraderie is second to none! Joining the Downtown San Diego Lions Club enables you to enjoy a break in your weekly grind!

The Downtown Lions Club meets on Tuesdays

Our meetings provide our members the opportunity to take a break from their busy week and enjoy a fine meal catered by Las Hadas, the camaraderie of others, and to listen to a great local guest speaker and learn more about the San Diego community.

Serve our Community the Way You Want!

As with all service organizations, you get out of it what you put into it and the Downtown San Diego Lions Club is no different. Once you join the club, you can participate at the level that you are comfortable with. We offer a variety of ways that you can be involved, our members can attend meetings, join one of our committees, or participate in other charitable work and community service.

Network, Party, and Make Friends Worldwide!

We have several networking and social events throughout the year and there is time before and after every meeting to network. We also host several well-attended theme nights each year such as a Casino night and a Holiday party in December, among other events.

Your Downtown San Diego Lions Club membership also enables you to attend meetings at any Lions Club worldwide! So if you are traveling to Turkey, Norway, or Brazil this year, or if you are going home to Wisconsin, you can attend any Lions Club meeting where you will be warmly welcomed when you arrive!
