About Lions
Since 1917, Lions clubs have offered people
the opportunity to give something back to their communities. From involving
members in projects as local as cleaning up an area park or as far-reaching
as bringing sight to the world's blind, Lions clubs have always embraced
those committed to building a brighter future for their community.
Today with more than approximately 45,000
clubs in 199 countries and geographical areas, Lions have expanded their
focus to help meet the ever-increasing needs of our global community.
Our programs are continually changing to meet
new needs and greater demands, but our mission has never wavered: "We Serve."

 Lions club members
are men and women who strive to make a difference in their local community
as well as communities worldwide. Their volunteer efforts go beyond
the support of vision care, to addressing unmet health and education needs
worldwide.
