The Burney Lions Club Auxiliary
The Burney Lions Club Auxiliary is the dedicated service arm that supports the main Burney Lions Club in its mission to serve the Intermountain community. Think of them as the behind-the-scenes powerhouse that ensures the town’s biggest traditions actually happen.
While the Lions Club often handles the heavy lifting (like the famous Demolition Derby), the Auxiliary focuses on community events, fundraising through food sales.
What They Do
The Auxiliary is deeply involved in the “heart” of Burney’s annual calendar. Their typical activities include:
- Burney Basin Days: Coordinating the Lions parade float.
- Holiday Events: Organizing baked goods for the Christmas Tree Lighting.
- Community Meals: Selling lunches during Heritage Day and assisting with the Graduating Senior Girl Dinner and the Community Thanksgiving Dinner.
- Youth Support: Helping the Lions with the annual Community Easter Egg Hunt.
Meeting Details
If you are looking to get involved or need to contact them:
- Location: Burney Lions Hall (37006 Main Street, Burney, CA).
- Meetings: They typically meet on the 4th Wednesday of the month at 6:00 PM.
Why Join?
The Auxiliary is a great fit for individuals who want to give back to the Burney area through volunteerism without necessarily committing to the specific requirements of full Lions Club membership. They are central to maintaining the “small-town feel” of the Intermountain area by keeping local traditions alive.
