Club History
The history of the Rich Hill Lions Clubs dates back to 1933, when the first club was chartered by Lions Clubs International, to a group of business men of the community.
Richard Trefts, president of the newly organized Security Bank, served as the first president of the original club. Those serving as vice presidents were J. Ward Claypool, 1st vice, John Underwood, 2nd vice, Joe Klumpp, 3rd vice. Flavy Wieks was Tail Twister, Frank Koentz, secretary and Tom Phillips, treasurer.
Besides the many services rendered to the community, this club was known for their Lions Minstrels presented locally and at surrounding communities, featuring the talents of Margaret Crabb, Harvey Robinson, Martin and Herman, Eteil Johnson, Delmar Mc-Combs, John and Pauline Underwood, Paul Hanna, George Dowell, the Lacy girls trio (Norma, Dorothy and Doris) among others.
In the late thirties this Lions Club sponsored and charted the Butler Lions Club. In the early 1940's, due to World War II and other circumstances, the original Lions Club was disbanded.
