"Serving Our Community for Over 60 Years"
A message from our Internation President:
A "pride" is a close knit family of lions, as can be found in the savannas of central Africa. Each member of the pride has responsibilities. Whether they are hunters, protectors, caregivers, teachers, or learners, they work as a team for survival and prosperity. If even one member of the bride does not fulfill its role, it can affect the entire group.
There is another group of lions just as proud. But unlike the Lions of Africa, these lions aren't feared. Instead they are admired and respected. They, too, form a ring of protection and they have shown themselves to be skilled hunters providing food for the hungry and tending to the needs of a different flock. These lions don't restrict themselves to grassy plains. Their territory has spread to every corner of the world, and they bring goodness wherever they exist. It's us-the 1.35 million members of Lions Club international.
The English dictionary provides another definition of the word "Pride"-a feeling of happiness that you get when you or someone you know it does something good. It is not the pride of being boastful it is the pride of accomplishment in building communities, doing good, and reaching out to assist others.
Lions are indeed a proud organization. There is a feeling of pride and shared among our members, knowing that our commitment to serve the needs of others is what has made us, and kept us, the global leader in humanitarian service. It is the same pride that has sustained us for 97 years.
We can "Strengthen the Pride" by bringing the full lyons family, closer together, working in the spirit of cooperation and understanding, with each Lion member doing their share. And we can "Strengthen the Pride" through our many meaningful accomplishments. This is the platform for not only success this year, but through our centennial and well into the next hundred years.
Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
