The Bethlehem Lions Club, originally sponsored by the Albany NY Lions Club, was granted a charter by Lions Clubs International in November 1954 and has been assisting individuals, families, and community organizations in the town of Bethlehem and surrounding area ever since. While we provide community service in many forms, the primary mission of Bethlehem Lions Club is to provide assistance to individuals with vision and hearing disabilities.
Lions Clubs International was formed by Melvin Jones in Chicago, Illinois in 1917.  At age 33 he was the sole owner of his own insurance agency and became a member of the local business circle.  After two years, he felt that as influential businessmen, their talents could be better utilized in other areas of community life.  This drive to provide community service resulted in the formation of Lions Clubs International with 27 clubs around the United States.  The Association became truly international when the Lions of Detroit sponsored the Windsor Ontario Canada Lions Club in 1920.
