Tennessee Lions Hall of Fame

The Tennessee Lions Hall of Fame was created in 2010 to honor those Lions of Tennessee who have distinguished themselves through dedicated selfless service beyond their local club. The standards for induction into the Tennessee Lions Hall of Fame are incredibly high, but we have been able to induct at least one new member every year at our annual Honors Banquet.
