Lion Gregory Hodge (1967)What does Lionism mean to me? Everything. I wouldn't have hung around all these years if I didn't love it. I think it's great, and I think every young man should get in and stay until he gets old like I am. I got in when I was young and have valued the experience. |

Lion Clyde Masengale (1973)It is a privilege being a small part of a world-wide, well-respected organization that provides moral and financial support to those in need. To me, Lionism means belonging to a local club and working with club members on many different projects in order to collect funds to donate to other organizations and individuals in need. It provides a good feeling to be able to help those in need in the name of Lionism. |

Lion Leo Morrissette (2015)Being a Lion means that I get to demonstrate my enjoyment of helping others through different types of events. Lionism means serving the community, helping others without expecting anything in return, and being part of a close-knit group that offers diversity, camaraderie and a fun time. I feel a sense of empowerment and achievement through volunteering my time. |

Lion Pat Kerr (1997)When I joined Lions back in 1997 I had big dreams of helping my community, assisting those less fortunate and making new friends. Well, I can say I have not been disappointed! I feel our Lions Club has made life-changing impacts on many individuals and other organizations. Our motto is “We Serve” and we definitely do just that. I am SO proud to wear my Lions Club pin and have the privilege of calling myself a member of this great organization and be a part of the Williamsburg Host Lions Club family. It is an honor to serve with these men and women! When I walk in the Christmas parade, drive behind our trailer heading for a service project my heart swells with love and pride. If you are looking for an organization that 100% of the monies earned and raised goes back to the community then Lions is your answer. |

Lion Chet Kramer (1973)The Lions Organizations has given me an opportunity to work with other caring and compassionate people to assist those in need within our local community. It is truly a wonderful experience, full of fun, excitement and lasting friendships. |

Lion Kim Miller (2015)I was looking for a respected organization whose members are compassionate and empathize with others from within rather than being forced to. The Lions have given me so much more than I expected. Membership makes me feel like a better human being by helping others and contributing to my community in the best way possible. |

Lion Mary Lou Newman (2006)As a Lions Member, I enjoy being able to help individuals and families in need of assistance throughout our community, especially the children. I am thankful for the many friendships and proud of the service we provide. |

Lion Jeff Jacobs (1991)Lions gives me a chance to work with youth, and that is an opportunity to affect how young people become better adults. It gives them a chance for a better future and a better world.

Lion Bruce Young (1966)As a Lion for 52 years, I have greatly enjoyed the fellowship. But, more importantly, the opportunity to help those in need has rewarded me immensely! It’s great to be a Lion! |
|
|
Lion John Dean (1998)Being a Lion has given me the opportunity to give back to my local community and to those less fortunate. The 20 years I have been in the club has and continues to allow me to accomplish this goal. I look forward to many more years of service to the club and community and welcome others to join us in this worthy task. |

Lion Dudley Orr (1996)Becoming a Lion after I retired and moved to a new community allowed me to connect with other people in the community and make new friends. It also helped me to identify the needs of the residents of the surrounding areas and provide support to those in need by appropriate service projects and programs. Through volunteer work and community service, I learned new things and was able to develop leadership skills that helped me during the 22 years that I have been a Lion. |
