Lake Oswego Lions Club & VisionEnvoy: 78 Years of Service
COMMUNITY: Lake Oswego Lions Club
By Lake Oswego Lions

Chartered in October of 1946, Lake Oswego Lions Club now includes the VisionEnvoy Club Branch. With 78+ years of service from the heart, we’re as committed as ever to sustaining our impact in our community, and we know young people are a dynamic force for good. “We are happy and proud to continue our efforts toward serving youth as beneficiaries and partners and empowering youth as service leaders on a local level,” says Lake Oswego Lions Club President, Sharon Rollins. “VisionEnvoy members have given LOLC a real shot in the arm with their boundless energy, many talents, innovative service projects, and non-stop fundraising!”
Since the first members were inducted in August 2022, VisionEnvoy members have come alongside veteran members of LOLC to help bring traditional events to our community including the 4th of July Pancake Breakfasts, food and clothing drives, Lions Burgers for the annual Buddy Walks and Fun Days at Guide Dogs for the Blind, eyeglasses sorting at Oregon Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation, our annual Adopt a Family for Christmas project, and Christmas Greenery Sales. They have also made a real impact on many lives by sharing their time and talents at other events. In January of 2023, for example, they provided a Lunar New Year celebration for the retirement community of Rose Schnitzer Tower.
The VisionEnvoy Club Branch formed Team Kancer Kickers, led by Jorie Liang and Carol Wang, and won honors as the Leukemia Lymphoma Society’s Student Visionaries of the Year as they raised $45,000 to fight the war against blood cancers! Their fundraisers have been creative, varied, and successful, including offering handmade greeting cards and jewelry. Their ‘Fairy-Hair’ service at various summer events was very popular and brought in lots of donations from happy recipients. They have also hosted walks and a ‘Wag-a-thon’ to include canine participants, a ‘Potsticker Workshop,’ and most recently, a ‘Dog/House-sitting Service’ that raised an impressive $1,600 for the 2025 LLS campaign. Go Kancer Kickers!
