About Our Club

Chartered in April of 1991, the Lakeside Highway Lions Club is located in Lakeside, California.

We are a "Family Oriented" club and encourage members to bring their entire families to General Meetings. In fact over 80% of our membership is comprised of husbands, wives and other family members.! Our reputation as a "Fun" club is well deserved.. Our unofficial motto is: "If we're not having fun, then why do it?"

Formerly, we were the El Cajon Highway Lions, one of three Lions clubs in that city. Our merger with the Lakeside Lions has enabled us to provide stronger more dynamic Lions Club support to the East County community of Lakeside. The country atmosphere and "Cowboy" ambience of this little part of San Diego County is a perfect mating for the Highway Lions and our wild west reenactment group, "The Regulators."

Our Annual Calendar

Included in our annual calendar are regularly scheduled club meetings, and events of interest to the membership. Fund raisers and occasions where we support community events are also listed.

Our District

The Highway Lions Club is part of District 4-L6, made up of all the clubs in San Diego and Imperial Counties and one of four clubs in the El Capitan Zone; Lakeside Highway Lions; Rancho Santee Lions; Alpine Stagecoach Lions and Harbison Canyon Lions.
