Community Service


Adopt-a-Highway

The Club is responsible for cleaning up the roadside on Highway 16 (Emmett Highway) between mile markers one and three.  This section begins one mile north of Highway 44 and ends just south of Deep Canyon Road.  This project is completed at least twice a year.

Street Banners

The Lions Club places banners and flags along State Street for holidays and special occasions.  The club decorates with holiday banners and garland at Christmas and Spring banners in April-May.   American flags are placed on Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, and Veterans' Day.

Flags for Veterans

 The Lions place  American flags on Veterans' graves at the Star Cemetery on  special holidays to honor Veterans.

Lions Spirit Projects

The Lions perform individual small service projects for Star community members in need such as painting, yard work, and minor repairs.

Patriotism Essay Contest

The Star Lions Club participates in the statewide Patriotism Essay Contest by sponsoring the contest at Star Elementary.  Students write essays on a patriotic topic and have a chance to win prizes.

Sight and Hearing


Eyeglass Collection

The Lions Club collects used eyeglasses which are cleaned, sorted and processed in Boise at the Idaho Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation facility.  The glasses are used in Lions missions to countries in need.  Collection boxes are located at Idaho Independent Bank, Star Fire Department, and Star Library.  You may also contact us and we will pick up your old eyeglasses.


Idaho Monopoly

Star Lions are selling the official Idaho edition of Monopoly to raise funds for the Idaho Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation.  The Foundation recently purchased and remodeled a building to use as the center of operations for the Idaho Eye Bank and other Foundation and Lions business.  Games are now only $25 plus tax.  Contact any Lions Club member or click here to order.

Eye Exams and Glasses
