Forsyth Lions feel that it is important to give more to our community than our charitable donations and fundraising talents. We support and sponsor several community events; such as, the Forsyth Christmas Parade, Celebrate America's Fireworks, and Youth Rodeos which bring contestants from Southwest Missouri, Northwest Arkansas, and Eastern Oklahoma. Six years ago, we created our 'just for fun & fellowship' Cardboard Boat Race. This year, that race has become the offical Forsyth Fun-Day; with many of the community's not-for-profit groups and Chamber Members coming togeather.

Our Club provides assistance for eyesight and hearing screening, eyeglass and other medical need/supplies funding, and the loaning of wheelchairs and 'Big Eye' equipment. Besides this, Forsyth Lions continues to support various other community projects:

  • Youth Organizations
  • Food Pantries
  • Providing school supplies and clothing
  • Scholarships
  • Fire Dept. Equipment and the Fire Victims Fund
  • Taney County Fair
  • City Christmas Parade and
  • Holiday Food Baskets

    This is how we work hard and have fun:

    • Lion's Bingo - every Thursday evening at the Elks Lodge
    • Lion's Kitchen at Shadowrock Parks events
    • Lion's Mobile Kitchen

    Cooking up good food and great fun is how we get it done. Our Lion's Kitchen is open at events such as:

    • Demolition Derby
    • Rodeos
    • Motorcycle Shows
    • Fairs and Craft Shows
    • The Cardboard Boat Race (Ok, this one is more FUN than fundraising...)
