History of Our Club
The City of Industry Lions Club was formed in 1987 by
PDG Dom Sorcabal, Lion Howard Kellogg and Lion Walt Doctor, at a meeting in a restaurant called Chalet Basque, where the La
Puente Lions used to meet. They discussed a plan to recruit new members to form a new club and Guiding Lion Walt would
regularly attend the new club's meetings until they were ready to function independently.
Later in the year, with the addition of new members, the
club was officially chartered.
Other Lions clubs in the 4-L2 District joined the celebration
at a nearby country club with gifts of needed club material such as an official bell, president's gavel, American flag and
other essentials.
The Industry Lions were launched and on their way to
helping their community and the world.
After more than 50 years, as older members passed
on and new members were becoming more difficult to recruit, the La Puente Lions dissolved their charter in 2004 and the members
blended into the ranks of the City of Industry Lions to form a combined larger club.
