Rockton Lions Club

Our next events: Chili Cookoff Feb 21st & Hearing and Diabetes Screening March 14 & 15

Check out our upcoming events to see what the Rockton Lions are up to!

The Rockton Lions of Rockton, IL has been serving the state-line area for over 75 years, and we aren't slowing down any time soon!. We have many local fund-raisers and service projects such as Candy Day, Flower Day, a chili cook-off, delivering Wimpy's Fund gifts, hearing screening, a blood drive, providing eye glasses to low income children, and Old Settlers Days to name a few. The profits from the fund raisers are funneled directly back into our community serving the needs of other organizations and individuals, while focusing on sight and sound related disabilities. Watch for us every year at the Ro/Ro expo with the Lions of Illinois hearing bus and FREE hearing exams.

We do all this while having a great time together. Our club is now one of the largest in District 1D, with almost 70 members and an average meeting attendance of over 70%. Think about joining the Rockton Lions Club, or volunteering for one of our many events. Visitors are invited to come to meetings at any time, and you will probably be surprised to find that Lions isn't what you think. If you are interested in coming to an orientation session to learn what we are about, please find more information here.

We have eye glass recycling boxes all over the stateline. If you see a box with this logo, please bring your old eyeglasses & cases, hearing aids and cell phones. We deliver them to The Center For Sight & Hearing in Rockford. Local Lions clean them and match them up with needy recipients all around the world.

You can find one of these drop off boxes at the following locations: First National Bank-Macktown, Stillman Valley Bank-Roscoe, Jacks Tire- South Beloit, Rogers Barber Shop, Shirland School, Forest City Therapy, American Center-Rockton, Walmart-Rockton, Illlinois Central Bus Company, Talcott Free Library, Cathy Bellich State Farm Insurance - Rockton, Cyndys Country Cottage-Rockton, McCorkle Funeral home-Rockton, Taylor Freezer. We will also have boxes available at the Ro/Ro expo, The Peppermint Swirl Craft Show Blood Drive, Old Settlers Days and our Chili Cookoff.
