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.
