About Us - Prescott Evening Lions

Welcome to the Prescott Evening Lions — home of the The Night Riders!

Chartered in 1983, Prescott Evening Lions celebrates its 30th 'birthday' this December 16. The group has about 40 members who focus on actively serving our local community, working with youth, and "Having Fun!" in the process.

In addition to our extensive community service, we sponsor the Young Lions Club at Tri-City Prep High School, located north of Prescott off Hwy. 89A. The Young Lions and supporting high school students focus on volunteer work by helping children, elderly, and the environment.

While our service club is relatively small in numbers, we make a BIG difference...by serving our community! Take a look at the list at right of how we serve our community. Click on a bulleted item to read more.
