The local Lions Club has been chosen for Chamber Member of the Month. The club membership is 53 people. Meetings are every Tuesday at noon in the downstairs portion of the American Legion Building. Each year, the Lions sponsor the Friday Harbor High School Knowledge Bowl and the Health Screening Van at Market Place.

They host an annual community festival in October and with funds earned at that event are able to offer financial assistance for eye exams and eyewear for the underserved local island population. The Lions also hold an annual fund-raising dinner one night of the San Juan County Fair.

The Lions Club is also the sponsoring club for our high school LEOs Club (35 members.)

They offer generous scholarships to high school students going off to college. The club contributes to the Friday Harbor Food Bank, Friday Harbor Athletic League, Friday Harbor Little League, hearing care assistance for local islanders, Camp Horizon, Salvation Army, Relay for Life, and other charities.
