The Rockwell Lions has been an active club throughout its 54 year history. It was chartered on February 24, 1957, sponsored by the Britt Lions Club. There were twenty four charter members.
Some of the projects over the years include summer recreation, Rockwell Library, scholarships, various school activities, crow's nest at the athletic field, city of Rockwell, boys and girls scouts, nature center, North Iowa Fair, Youth Arena, 4-H Stand, bike path to swimming pool, Jaw of Life-Rockwell Fire Department, tennis courts, eletronic events sign on Main Street Rockwell, baseball dug-outs, Rockwell Medical Center, diabetes program, Youth Exchange Camp, Lions Club International Fund, Leader Dog for the blind, Rockwell Lions Foundation ( sight conservation), 4th of July fireworks, Rockwell Nursing Home, Opportunity Village, glasses for needy, Rockwell EMT, Rockwell and Swaledale Fire Departments and many more.
In the mid sixties, the Rockwell Lions undertook their most ambitious project at that time raising funds and help building the Linn Grove Swimming Pool. Most the labor was donated by the Lions and other community members. Old photos show men moving dirt with their tractors and many others with a shovel in hand. It was a huge success and served the community well for many years. Ironically the biggest challenge facing the Rockwell Lions today is our commitment of $250,000 for the construction of the new bath house at the new Rockwell Aquatic Center. To date, $150,000 of that commitment has been met!
