Sponsored Membership
First, you need sponsors. Sponsors are established Narragansett Lions Sponsors are established Narragansett Lions, meaning they are members in good standing who have been with the club for 5 years or more. They will stand by you through your first 1-2 years of membership (attend meetings with you, introduce you to other members, show you the ropes, etc.). You will need 2 sponsors in order to join.
As a member, there are commitments we expect you to meet each year:
- Attend at least 3 Board Meetings.
- There are 11 Board Meetings per year.
- Location: Narragansett Community Center
- Attend at least 4 Dinner Meetings.
- There are 9 Dinner Meetings per year.

- Serve at a minimum of 3 Narragansett Lions Club hosted events.

Keep in mind that, with a couple of exceptions, you have an ENTIRE YEAR to meet these commitments.
