Projects

Lions serve our community with projects such as:

Copperopolis Angel Tree Program

The Lion’s Club organizes the Angel Tree Holiday Gift Program to provide gifts to children and assist families who otherwise wouldn’t have the resources to

celebrate a happy Christmas.

Children must be 14 years of age or under, live in Copperopolis and school age children must be enrolled in school. Families who are experiencing some type of hardship are eligible for this program. Names are collected by the Lions Club each year before Christmas. An anonymous tag for each child then adorns a Christmas tree. People are invited to take a tag and purchase a gift for that child.

Little Free Libraries

Lake Tulloch Lions Club has three Little Libraries in the community. They are located at Black Creek Park, Copper’s Java House, and IGA. Calaveras First Five registered them with the national organization. The Libraries provide easy access to books allowing you to borrow a book and leave a book for others. Dave Grimsshaw and Bob Toynbee built the libraries which are maintained by Sigrid Kehr and Sue Martinez.

Scholarship Program

The Lake Tulloch Lions Club has proudly provided scholarships to Bret Harte Union High School graduates for many years. With the support and efforts of the scholarship coordinators at Bret Harte, thousands of dollars in scholarship funding have been awarded to deserving students.

In 2026, the Lake Tulloch Lions Club awarded $20,000 in scholarships. Scholarship recipients must be residents of the Copperopolis area and are selected based on a well-rounded combination of qualifications. These include scholastic performance, ACT and SAT results, essay content and writing style, proposed career field and life goals, financial need, intent to work while pursuing their education, participation in school and community activities, and their chosen college, university, or post-secondary technical training program.
