City Of Industry Lions Club History, Officers, Melvin Jones Fellows and Leo Clubs
Club History
The City of Industry Lions Club was formed in 1987 by Past District Governor Dom Sorcabal, Lion Howard Kellogg and Walt Doctor, at a meeting in a restaurant called Chalet Basque, where the La Puente Lions used to meet. They discussed a plan to recruit new members to form a new club and Guiding Lion Walt would regular attend the new club's meetings until they were ready to function independently.
Other Lions Clubs in the 4-L2 District join the celebration at a neareby country club with gifts of needed club material such as an official bell, president's gavel, American flag and other essentials.
Later in the year, with the addition of new members, the club was officially chartered on September 15, 1989.
The Industry Lions were launched and on their way to helping their community and the world.
After more than 50 years, as older members passed on and new members were becoming more difficult to recruit, the La Puente Lions dissolved their charter in 2004 and the members blended into the ranks of the City of Industry Lions to form a combined larger club.

Why is it named Leo Club? Answer is Leadership, Experience, and Opportunity.
What is a Leo Club? Leo Clubs encourage youths to develop leadership qualities by participating in social serve activates. They are dependent on a Lion Club to sponsor and initiate a Leo Club. Leo Club members are addressed as "Leos". They conduct various projects in the field of health care, elders, children, differently able, literacy and education and self-development. Leos can raise funds by conducting fund-raising projects. They can conduct projects with another Leo Club, sponsoring Lions Club, or with an outside organization. Leo Clubs are sponsored by Lions Club and comprise an official program of the Lions Club International.
