IntroducingThe Terra Rubra Lions
Terra Rubra means "red earth" in
Latin, and refers to the distinctive red soil in northwest Carroll
County, Maryland. It's also the name of the estate in nearby Keysville
where Francis Scott Key, author of The Star-Spangled Banner, was born
in 1779.
The Terra Rubra Lions are a group of your neighbors
who have come together to serve our community. Our club was chartered in 1966, and
since then we've been offering a wide range of services to Carroll County, including
college scholarships, vision assistance, loans of convalescent equipment,
youth athletic programs, and much more.
We are proud to serve the rural Carroll and Frederick County
communities of Keysville, Keymar, Bruceville, Rocky Ridge, Detour, Ladiesburg, and
Middleburg.
The motto of Lions Clubs International is We Serve.
At Terra Rubra, service to our neighbors goes hand-in-hand with having a great time!

What's New ...
Our 2022 Events Calendar is ready, and with the easing of Covid-19
restrictions, we're excited to reintroduce limited indoor events. Until further notice,
the seating capacity in our Activities Building will be about half of its usual
seating. This means that it will be even more important to reserve tickets to your
favorite events before the sell out. We'll also be offering drive-through service for
our Crabapaloozas and certain other events. Check the Web pages for the individual
events for details.
You'll probably notice that the ticket prices for some of our events have gone up a little
since last year. Unfortunately, costs for everything from the food we serve to the electricity
that keeps our lights on are going up, and to make sure that we can continue to meet our
commitment to serve our neighbors in need, we've had to respond with some modest changes
in what we charge for tickets to some (but not all) of our fund-raising events. Thanks for
your understanding, and we hope you will continue to support the Terra Rubra Lions as you
always have.
