Formerly known as the
Bellport Lions Club, the club was organized in 1949. The name was
subsequently changed to South Country Lions Club to better reflect the
communities it serves: East Patchogue, Bellport and Brookhaven.
The Lions Club’s primary purpose is service to the community. Members
believe that quality of life can be improved when people are willing to
work to make things happen. They reject apathy as a response to problems
and choose instead to work individually and together to provide health,
community, educational and international services. The Lions Club
strives to create and foster a spirit of understanding among all people
for humanitarian needs by providing voluntary services through community
involvement and international cooperation.
