The annual Snowmobile Poker Run is typically held on the third Saturday in February.

The Speculator Lions Club was chartered in September of 1962 and has served the local communities of Speculator, Lake Pleasant, Piseco, and Wells for over 60 years.

Fundraising is key to the success of the Speculator Lions Club. This is accomplished through large and small events – for example, the Summer Raffle and Snowmobile Poker Run have been held annually for over 20 years. The Breakfast Fly-in has been held since 1975.

Fundraising allows the Speculator Lions Club to meet pressing needs in our local communities including winter heating needs, food programs (such as the local food banks and the giving of thanksgiving baskets), a college scholarship for local youths; a Halloween party for children at Lake Pleasant School; and most importantly helping individuals when appropriate and supporting individuals and communities in times of disaster.

Many of our senior members have retired after years of dedicated service. We are looking for new members and new ideas to help contiune our mission of supporting the local community.

Regular membership is open to all adults of good moral character with a desire to help their communities. You do not need to be a full-time resident of the area. Family membership enables relatives living in the same house to volunteer together at a reduced dues rate. Students between 18 and 30 who are enrolled in an educational institution are eligible to receive a discount on international dues. Leos Young people interested in Lions International may become Leos as part of a Leo Club.
