The history of the Hamilton Lions Club.

Chartered

Chartered January 26,1943

Lions Club Youth Center

Before the Chamber of Commerce or Junior Chamber of Commerce the youth of Hamilton needed a place for their activities. Lions Burton Wilson and Claude Gautier planned and led the project, getting other Lions to supply the hard work, tools, and materials needed. The city donated the land ... originally part of Horton's Park ... and the Lions Club owns the building.

Originally, it was used strictly for youth activities : scout activities, youth club meetings, after game dances, after school games for kids. Mrs. Woodall ( Lion Louis Woodall's mother) first handled the scherduling. This was handled later by several people, including Ann Tatum.

More recently it has also been used for weekly Lions Club meetings, family reunions, and other activities needing its facilities.
