“We Serve” – Since October 1924 the Marietta Noon Lions has followed this inspiring international motto. In various ways over the years we are proud to say our club has risen over $1,000,000 for various charities.  Our largest single expenditure has been buying eyeglasses for those who could not buy their own.  Our membership is 75+  and our members consist of educators, business owners, retirees and more.  We meet  at the Lafayette Hotel and invite you to attend as our guest.
