On June 15, 2026, the Bolingbrook Lions Club proudly installed our 2026–2027 Officers and Board of Directors during a fun-filled evening celebrating leadership, service, and friendship.
This year’s installation ceremony was anything but ordinary! Our Master of Ceremonies kept everyone laughing while installing each officer with a creative and entertaining analogy, comparing every leadership position to a different type of candy. From sweet leadership to dependable teamwork, each candy perfectly represented the unique strengths and responsibilities of the role, reminding us that every officer brings something special to the success of our club.
