We meet the first and third Tuesday of each month at the Holiday Inn-Ole Towne, 8 Crawford Parkway, Portsmouth, Va. 23704 Lions are men and women who volunteer their time to serve the needs of others locally and worldwide, all without any personal rewards. We gain friendship, good fellowship and an enrichment of our own lives.
