Sponsored by the Salisbury Host Lions Club, the
Delmar Lions Club was chartered in February 1938. In our generous support
of the Delmar community over the last 75 years, some of our many projects
include donating the land for State Street Park to the town of Delmar, chartering
and supporting Boy Scout Troop 174, college scholarships for Delmar High School
seniors, local youth sports programs, Christmas gifts for residents of the
local nursing home, vision exams and eyeglasses.
We continue to support LCIF, LVRF, Leader Dogs for
the Blind, among others. In support of our endeavors, our members can be
seen fundraising at our annual golf tournament and selling hot dogs and
hamburgers at local events including Delmar's A Day In The Park, Wright's
Market Watermelon Festival in Mardela Springs, and Heritage Days in Delmar.
Recently, we have had only one Past District
Governor and one Past District Cabinet Secretary, but over our history we have
had many members serve on the District 22-D's Cabinet. The Delmar Lions
Club sponsored the Lions Club in Sharptown, MD in 1940.
