The Manassas Host Lioness Club was chartered in 1976, with a membership of 13. Shirley Rivers was installed as the club's first president. The club was sponsored by the Manassas Host Lions Club.
In 2003, the Lioness members voted to "bridge" into a Lioness Lions Club, and the Manassas Host Lioness Lions Club was chartered on June 14, 2003. Sheryl Bass was installed as the new club's first president, and 21 members were initiated into the club.
Club membership is continually growing and today, approximately 35 members work together to serve greater Manassas and Prince William County.
