What are Lions? First let me tell you what we are not. We are not a fraternal organization or affiliated with any political party or religious denomination. What Lions are. Lion's are volunteers and Members of the Largest Volunteer Service Organization in the World who are striving to eliminate preventable blindness in our lifetime. Towards this goal, we support Diabetes Awareness and prevention, vision screening for glaucoma, macular degeneration and other common vision problems. We also support Community youth and elderly activities and strive to make our Community a better place to live. What is demanded of a Lion? All Lions give of themselves and their time as they can. No Lion is asked to give more or serve more than they or their family will allows. Where the Money goes. All money raised by donations & contributions from the public MUST be directed to the Community or the programs listed above. AT NO TIME may any of this money be used to support the club or any Lions. How do we raise our money. Clubs raise money from the Community by hosting various fundraisers. Each Club decides what fundraiser will work best within their Community. Who can become a Lion. Anyone who has a desire to make a difference in the lives of those who must endure vision problems, suffer from Diabetes or the members of the community the Lions club serves. This person is asked to attend at least 2 meetings a month and or participate in club sponsored events whenever they can.
