Club Projects

The Midland Lions Club supports the community with a variety of programs and services, with a focus on sight. This focus dates back to 1925, when Helen Keller gave a speech at the International Lions Convention in Cedar Point, Ohio asking Lions to be Knights for the Blind to hasten the day when there would be no preventable blindness, no blind child untaught, and no blind man or woman unaided.
