WHAT IS A LIONS CLUB?

Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization:
We have 1.3 million members in 45,000 clubs  worldwide.

Lions are everywhere:
We're active in more than 205 countries and geographic areas.

Lions have a dynamic history:
We are best known for fighting blindness
It's part of our history as well as our work today.
But we also volunteer for many different kinds of projects
including disaster relief – across many borders. 

Lions serve youth:
Our community projects often support local children and schools
with new programs and resources.
Internationally, we offer many programs,
including our popular Peace Poster Contest.

Lions award grants:
Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF)
has awarded $610 million in grants to support Lions projects around the world.
LCIF was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007
study by The Financial Times.

Lions are active:
Our motto is "We Serve."

A Lion never wonders:
"What can one person do to improve his or her community?"
Because Lions are part of a global service network,
we do whatever is necessary to help local communities.

A Lions Club is not a fraternal, social or political organization.
It is a group of civic-minded men and women who have banded together
to do the things they cannot do alone.

Lions are willing and anxious to give their time,
energy and resources in service to others.

A person is rewarded in Lionism by the pleasure and satisfaction of serving others;
by improving the community in which he or she lives;
and by endeavoring to leave the world a better place than he or she found it.

The rewards are in direct proportion to the effort expended.
By investing time and effort in club activities,
a person receives dividends in new friendships,
new status in the community,
a new awareness of God’s many blessings,
and a heart-warming sense of fulfillment from doing something good for others.

A Lions Club is a medium through which all of these things are available
to reputable men and women of good will.
