More than 80 people attended the event, which was held at Swaffham Assembly Rooms.
The evening, hosted by Eddie Godden, included entertainment by the Phoenix Singers with songs from Les Miserables, amusing readings from Ian Sandell and rounded off by cabaret artists Class Act.
A short video showed the work the Lions are carrying out in Haiti, including three tented villages housing more than 3,000 people supplied by the Lions, and a message from the Lions Haiti President.
