The club has published its own 年刊 (annual) through TAH’s archive, evidencing an organized, long-running club life in the LA Taiwanese American community:

The annual issues span at least 1997–2016 (with further issues catalogued as #872–#887), all recorded as Magazines/雜誌 in the TAH encyclopedia.
Beyond service-club social life, the club ran community-education work: the 洛杉磯台灣語言文化班 (LA Taiwanese language & culture class) was organized by the 台灣人獅子會, recorded as a TAH story-corpus item (16. 洛杉磯台灣語言文化班 by 台灣人獅子會) — evidence the club invested in language/culture transmission to the next generation in the LA Taiwanese American community.

- Blind-services charity: The club held the 愛盲慈善音樂會 (charity concert for the blind) in El Monte, CA on 1996-10-12 and 1998-03-07 — service work beyond the Taiwanese community, per the TAH story corpus (92. 愛盲慈善音樂會 by 美國台灣人獅子會).
