The
Culver Lions Club – Founded May 1943 – 68th Anniversary
The
Culver Lions Club is one of the most active Lions Clubs in Indiana. Seventy
members strong and growing, we actively embrace the Lions Club creed “WE
SERVE”.
Membership
in the Culver Lions provides you the opportunity to get involved in
community projects of all types, to meet and get to know your neighbors,
enjoy good food, a laugh or two, and through hard work and sharing, a
strong sense of being a part of the beautiful, unique community that is
Culver.
While
the Culver Lions actively supports Lions International programs like the
Eye Bank, Leader Dog, and Cancer Control programs; we take a very
pro-active stance in local affairs through our work with Culver Community
Schools, Park
programs, and other civic organizations like the Culver Kiwanis. The
Culver Lions provide both funds and volunteer hours to many area charities,
school, and civic programs.
Major

Vandalia
Railroad Depot
The
Culver Lions lovingly restored this historic building several years ago
through energetic fund raising, valuable support from the community at
large, financial assistance from the Marshall County Community Foundation
and other philanthropic organizations, and countless volunteer labor
hours. As leaseholder, the club is the sole caretaker of this historic
building and works to maintain the structure’s historical
significance. It is listed in Indiana’s
Historic Sites Registry and has received The Historical Landmark Award from
Marshall County Historical Society.
For
wonderful historical photos and writings about the depot you can go to the
Culver/Union Township Library’s web site at www.culver.lib.in.us
!
Along
with being the home of the Culver Lions’ regular meetings and our special
fund raising events; the Culver Lions offers the free use of the building
for various civic and charity events as a community service. The
building, which includes a full service, commercial style kitchen, is also available
to the general public to rent for special events such as weddings,
reunions, and graduation events. The facility is smoke free and
alcohol free.
