History of our Club

The purpose of every Lions Club is to provide services to the community, the blind, vision and/or hearing impaired and to help those in need.  The motto of the Lions Club is “We Serve”.  A Lions Club is not a fraternal, political, religious or social organization.  The membership includes men and women who believe in service to mankind.

The Springettsbury Lions Club was founded in 1954 by a group of like-minded citizens who shared a commitment to work for the betterment of the community of a rapidly growing Springettsbury Twp. Our club is a member of the International Association of Lions Clubs founded in 1917 by Melvin Jones, a Chicago businessman. In founding the Lions movement, Mr. Jones held the belief that a group of persons working together could achieve more than any one individual working alone. Today, Lions Clubs have become the world’s largest service organization; consisting of over one million members located in 157 countries and geographical areas of the free world. The headquarters of Lions International is located in Oak Brook, Illinois.
