The Newcomb Lions Club was chartered in 1966 with a total of 32 members. At the present time membership in the local club totals over 40 members. The purpose of the Lions Clubs is the motto WE SERVE and the local club has since its inception targeted monies toward that end. Some of the beneficiaries include local organizations and individuals such as fire and flood victims, eye glasses for needy individuals, scholarships for Newcomb Central School graduates, sponsorship of Little League, operation of a Halloween party for local children, sending boys and girls to conservation camp operated by the DEC, and giving fruit baskets to senior citizens at Christmas. Those organizations outside the community who have benefited include Hospice, Life Line Helicopter, Make a Wish Foundation, Seeing Eye Dog, Sight Conservation Society, Speech and Hearing Camp and Diabetes. Other individuals and organizations have been helped in the past depending upon their needs. The local club will also respond to any need that arises. The main and presently the only money raising venture of the Newcomb Lions Club is the CHICKEN- B-B-Q held on or near JULY 4th each year. The monies raised by this event enable the local club to be of service to the community of Newcomb and those outside the community.
