MAJOR INITIATIVES OF DISTRICT 31A



Marjorie McCune Memorial Center, a licensed Adult Assisted Living Home, is owned and operated by the Lions of Western North Carolina. Located in Black Mountain, the center is nestled in the Swannanoa Valley in a beautiful country setting. For those who live at The McCune Center, life is simply an extension of their own lives. Residents are able to spend time with their family, friends and neighbors in a setting that say "Welcome Home".

Founded in 1903, Eliada Home is a non-profit agency dedicated to helping children succeed. Located on a historic 200-acre campus in the mountains of Western North Carolina, serve children and families through a diverse spectrum of programs and services, including residential care, child development services, foster care, community support services, therapeutic recreation, and many others.

Camp Dogwood, located on Lake Norman in Catawba County, was started in 1967. It is owned and operated by the North Carolina Lions Foundation. Nothing like this camp exists anywhere else in the state, and from the first, it was a project that North Carolina Lions embraced.
