The history of the West Babylon Lions Club began on June 12, 1950, when Harry J. Diehl, a representative of Lions International, certified that he had received the names of 31 members to issue a charter.

The purpose of a Lions Club is to serve the community meeting its needs and in solving its problems. OUR MOTO: WE SERVE.
