The World's Largest Civic Club Organization
Lions are an international network of 1.4 million men and women in 206 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world.
Lions Clubs International
Lions Clubs International was founded in the United States in 1917 A.D. by Melvin Jones, a Chicago businessman. Lion Jones asked, with regard to his colleagues, "What if these men who are successful because of their drive, intelligence and ambition, were to put their talents to work improving their communities?"
Lion Jones' personal code, "You can't get very far until you start doing something for somebody else," reminds many Lions of the importance of community service.
The Lions motto is “We Serve.” Local Lions Club programs include sight conservation, hearing and speech conservation, diabetes awareness, youth outreach, international relations, environmental issues, and other programs.
All funds raised by Lions Clubs from the general public are used for charitable purposes, and administrative costs are kept strictly separate and paid for by Lion members.
Lions Clubs plan and participate in a wide variety of service projects that meet the international goals of Lions Clubs International as well as the needs of their local communities.
Lions focus on work for the blind and visually impaired began when Helen Keller addressed the International Convention at Cedar Point, Ohio on the 30th. of June 1925 A.D. and charged Lions to be Knights of the Blind.
Lions meet the needs of our communities and the world, ranging from assisting the visually impaired and working with local youth to medical missions and disaster relief.
