REASON FOR BEING …

A good Lions Club has many purposes; Friendship, Fellowship and Enjoyment through service to the community and a creative use of time.

But the very essence of a Lions Club Membership is service to others. Working side-by-side with other women and men who share their ideals, a person has a chance to express concern for human need through structured, productive service activities that benefit communities both near and far.

They have the opportunity to “Create and foster a spirit of understanding amongst the peoples of the world”, which is the first Purpose of Lions Clubs. This opens up a whole word of International friendship and understanding.
