Today and always, we celebrate those army heroes. Thank you for coming out and helping us celebrate our country, celebrate those who serve our country and celebrate our beautiful flag.”

Enterprise Lions Club has given over $81, 000 to date to local charitable organizations.


"The motto of Lions Club is 'We Serve' and we would like that message to get out and encourage all people who would like to serve with us to come join us. This is a once a year event; but, we serve all year." Charles Seitz, Treasurer





Mark Moser CVMA Sept2018Mark Moser, an incoming member of WWVC, spoke at the Enterprise Lions Club's weekly program on September 26, 2018, about Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association.

“The combat vets are really just a group of disparate guys and gals who like to ride motorcycles as a hobby,” Moser said. “We’ve got all branches involved in it.” The motto of the organization is “vets helping vets.” Each chapter, and the organization as a whole, supports local vets and their needs. “We do that by helping focus on taking care of veteran facilities—especially places that provide shelter and food and clothes,” Moser said. “We also get involved with guidance if we can give it or finding someone who can. Sometimes it’s just saying, ‘Thank you and welcome home.”’
