The Burley Lions Club was established 1938 and has been working to enhance our community through service ever since. We are a very active local service club. We provide support to our community through financial contributions and hands on volunteer service projects. If you would like to join our club, and be part of the largest service club organization in world, please express that interest to any club member that you know in the community. If you see a need that needs attention within our community that you believe we might be able to help with, please let us know. We also sponsor a large Leo Club at Burley High School that seeks out opportunities to serve.

The 2008 Burley Lions Club Spudman Triathlon registration opened Monday, January 7, 2008, at 12 Noon MST and closed approximately 20 minutes later when registration reached capacity. Visit the Spudman Triathlon Page for additional information. Thanks to the many participants who come from far and wide as well as the many volunteers that together make this event an annual success.

The Burley Lions Club Jr. Jazz basketball girls and boys seasons are complete! A special thanks to the coaches, who gave of their time, the players, who made it fun to watch, the scorekeepers and referees who volunteer several hours each season, Lion Sam and Lion Larry for their coordination and Owen McBride for opening and closing the building each week. Here is the basketball page where the schedules, rosters and volunteer assignments are posted as they become available. Please share any nice pictures you have of seasons past or present that you would be willing to have posted on our site with the webmaster.
