In April of 1977, the McFarland Lions Club decided they would like to sponsor a Lioness Club.  Invitations were sent to all the Lions' wives and an article placed in the paper.  The women attending voted to organize a club with the help of Lion Glen Witthuhn, Lioness Liaison Chairman from the Lions Club.  A charter was applied for and, the first meeting of the McFarland Lioness Club was held September 12, 1977 at Conrad's Supper Club. 

The Charter with a roster of 47 members was presented to the Lioness Club President, Alice Beyer, by Lions Club Zone Chairman, Lion William Stone at a Recognition Night Dinner Program held at Quality Inn in Madison, November 4, 1977.
