We're All About Community...
Featuring Camp Verde Lions Club: 
Meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday each month at the Library @6:00p
Camp Verde Lions Club has been serving the Verde Valley since 1950 "Helping the Verde Valley and Its Community See a Brighter Future." The club has provided eye care, glasses and and hearing aids to people in our community for nearly 70 years. They collected over 266 pairs of glasses so far this year. Look for the glasses collection box in the library and help support the Lions Club's work!

The Lions are currently working on two big projects. 
  • Gearing up for the 18th Annual Fort Verde Days Car Show which will take place October 14 from 7:30a - 3:00p in the Rio Verde Plaza parking lot on the corner of Fain & Main streets. Proceeds from the show are used to help the Lions accomplish their mission.
  • Recruiting young members who want to make a difference in our community through a LEO Club. Leo Clubs are for young people interested in serving while making new friends and volunteering.
