Timberon Lions Club The Timberon Lions Club has 20 members and has been actively serving the community since it was chartered in February, 1982. They have placed street signs and built the pavilion behind the Timberon Lodge, including the picnic tables.
   With the help of other Lions Clubs and an Alamogordo doctor, a young man living in Timberon had his sight restored through surgery. Eye glasses have been purchased for a number of residents in Timberon and transportation provided for vision exams.
   The club has given donations to: Smith Memorial Library, The Timberon Volunteer Fire Department, Timberon Development Council, The Timberon Parade Committee and the community food pantry. They also contribute to local, state and national charities - Leader Dog for the Blind, Diabetes Awareness, New Mexico Eye Screening Van, and Lions Clubs International Foundation. LCIF gives thousands of dollars each year in grants for disasters, including $10,000 to victims of the Scott Able fire.
   Recently in the aftermath of Katrina, the Lions Club, in cooperation with the Timberon Development Council and the Mountaintop Daylight Lodge #81, shipped over 700 pounds of clothing and tools to the victims in Mississippi and Florida.

Timberon Extension Club   The Timberon Home Extension Club has 19 members and was organized by the women of this community 21 years ago and was originally affiliated with the Otero County Extension Service. Six years ago it was decided to discontinue their association with the county organization and today, is in independent club actively involved in beautifying, improving, and supporting Timberon.
   Most involvement in larger projects is done in cooperation with all the organizations and service clubs here. The community cemetery, the picnic area and the Fourth of July parade are examples of this cooperation. At the annual Christmas program, sponsored by the Timberon Chapel, the ladies make gifts to be given to all the children in the community.
   In their continuing effort to be of active relevance to Timberon, this club has arranged for many fine speakers who have shared their knowledge of this area. We've had Sacramento Mountain archeologists, historians and bird, plant, and wildlife experts who have shared their areas of expertise. Arts and crafts are also often part of the monthly program. One of the great benefits enjoyed from working and meeting together is the friendships shared..
   The Extension Club meets on the third Thursday of each month at 10:15am in the Timberon Lodge, 1 Bob White Circle.
