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!

Mystery Bingo

The Terra Rubra Lions are donating the use of our Activities Building on March 17 to our neighbor Emma Baker and her family. Emma played in our softball program for many years, and she is currently undergoing treatments for cancer. Her family will be holding a Mystery Bingo to raise money to help pay for her treatments and transportation. Doors will open at 5:00 for dinner, and bingo begins at 7:00. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. Call 410-775-1998 for tickets. Please come out and show your support for Emma and her family.
