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

What's New

We're trying out a few new activities for 2010. First, we've added a twist to our annual Daytona Party. This year, since the race falls on Valentine's Day, we're having a special dinner before the race, and offering a gift to every lady in attendance.

We'll also be holding a Mystery Bingo night. Each game winner will choose a prize envelope with a value of at least $50 in cash, gas, or groceries. Some will be worth more! You won't know until YOU select your prize.

We're also planning a Bull & Oyster Roast on March 6, and a Sportsmen's Raffle on April 10. Click on the events for full details.
