FRUITPORT LIONS CLUB SERVING HUMANITY SINCE 1948

The Fruitport Lions Club was sponsored in 1948 by the Muskegon Host Club. Thirty
five members strong, they embarked on a journey of service to those in need.
Original membership was comprised of citizens and business owners in Fruitport.
Industrialists to dairymen, a dentist and an insurance salesman all united
toward the goals of Lionism. Present day members can trace relatives and family
friends to the original group. The Fruitport Lions Club has a track record of
community support in addition to state and international projects.

Over two hundred thousand dollars in scholarships has been provided to
graduating seniors of Fruitport High School. Eyeglasses, a new septic system,
numerous ramps and roofs, a new bathroom for Pomona Park (site of Old Fashioned
Days) show the tone and effort of the club. Support for school age sports from
summer baseball to a batting cage at the high school, band uniforms, score
boards, a typewriter and several computers,  support of student council,
equestrian  team, and athletic boosters club show the mettle of the club. The
Spring Lake Lions Club was sponsored by the Fruitport Lions Club. They also
sponsored the Blue Sky Lions Club of Muskegon which chartered on November 7,
2008. Fifteen club members have perfect attendance beyond 10 years. Ten of those
have perfect attendance of 20 years or more. Four members have perfect beyond 30
years. Lion Gordon Mol led the list with 42 years of perfect attendance before
he past, we wear a button on our vests in his memory. Lion Ron Cooper has been a
member for 55 years. Presently the Fruitport Lions Club is 62 members strong.

Current projects include: food basket program (Thanksgiving and Easter),
Fruitport High School scholarships (To date the Fruitport Lions Club has made
college scholarship donations to graduates of Fruitport High School in excess of
$200,000.00), state and international projects. The Fruitport Lions Club
committed to be an Emerald Club for Campaign Sight First t II. Recently the club
celebrated its 70th anniversary; confirming a commitment to the future of
service established by those farsighted men in 1948.
