Lions are an international organization, founded in 1917. The Apex Lions Club was chartered in 1937 by a group of local business men who wanted to make APEX a better place to live. The charter club members included a teacher, lawyer, doctor, postmen, druggist, dentist, grocer, auto dealer, railroad agent, mayor, banker, garage owner, and others who saw a need to come together and serve the local needs of the community. The club has followed the original groups lead, today we continue to support Lions International, with a focus on the sight impaired. However as you can see below many local needs are supported to make Apex a better place to live. The Apex Lions Club meets at 6:30 pm on the first and third Thursday of each month in the CC Jones building, on Holloman street. Each meeting has a buffet dinner and a speaker from the area to bring a short message of interest to the club. COME VISIT US AND SEE HOW YOU TOO CAN BE A LION AND MAKE APEX A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE. The Apex Lions club has a strong community presence supporting many worthwhile projects in and around Apex. Over Ninety % of funds raised by our club go directly to worthwhile causes in North Carolina. Apex High School Scholarships, Western Wake Crisis, Tammy Lynn Center, Apex fire department, hearing aids, Braille readers, Apex Boy Scout troop 209, Cub Scout Pack 312, Apex Police Explorer Post, Adopt a Highway ( Green Level Church Road) are but a few of the local community actions supported by Apex Lions.
