Welcome from the Lions

The Prescott Lions Club would like to extend an invitation for you to come to one of the Club's meetings. The Lions Club meets on the first and third Thursdays of each month at the Prescott Housing Authority Office behind the old Nevada County Hospital. The Prescott Lions Club is a non-profit civic organization.
