We thank our Fairfax community for supporting Lions hot dog sales before, during and after the Independence Day Parade. We enjoyed good sales, and ALL PROCEEDS go to Lions community charity programs…Thank you for visiting us on Independence Day!

The Lions fiscal year begins July 1, and a new Board of Directors and Officers are installed for the new year. Of course, the key officer is the club president, who is known within the club as the “King Lion.”

Outgoing President Greg DeRosa was proud to pass the gavel to the new President, Karen DeRosa. Fairfax Lions look forward to a successful year serving the Fairfax Community under Queen Lion Karen!

On May 31st, FX Lions presented 42 books (for children ages 3-5) to the Main Street Child Development Center library.

FX Lions Club and Main Street Child Development Center are partners in several programs serving deserving families and young children in our community.

We thank our community members for their support of our fund raising programs which enable us to perform such service projects. Click: To donate. The Lions motto is: We Serve!

At the dinner meeting on May 21st, the Fairfax Lions Club proudly inducted two new members into the Club and Lions International. We look forward to joining these new members in community service projects!

Part of joining a Lions Club is a process called “Orientation,” to explain Club processes and expectations for new members.

On May 14th, Fairfax Lions provided an orientation to two GMU students (both pre-Optometry) Ben Dilzer and Jordan Jacobi, and Tom Hewlett.

In 2023, the Vienna Arts Society held a “Take a Seat Vienna” auction selling forty benches.  All benches were made by Vienna resident Ralph Reinecke, and painted by several Vienna Arts Society artists.  One featured artist was Lion Joyce Myers (now a Fairfax Lion) who paints a Lions Bench. 

On May 14, 2024, the Bernhard family – who purchased the Lions Bench – donated it to the Fairfax Lions Club (former members of Vienna Lions Club have merged into Fairfax Lions Club), and placed it in front of Fosters Grille in Vienna.
