Mansfield Area Lions Fall Festival & BBQ

The Mansfield Area Lions Club has a long history of helping individuals and organizations (on the very bottom I listed some of those).

We hold one major fund raiser a year (the Mansfield Lions Fall Festival & BBQ). 100% of the money we raise (after we pay for materials) goes to all the Lions charities.  Also, should anyone be interested in becoming a Lion they can contact any Lion, e-mail us at Mansfield_lions@hotmail.com or come by one of our meetings (6:15 on the 2nd & 4th Tue of each month at the Nathan Hale Inn & Conference Center on the UConn Campus).
