WHAT ARE LIONS CLUBS? |
 |
WHAT DO LIONS CLUBS DO? |
| |
|
Lions are an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 202 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world. Lions clubs are non-political, non-secretarian service clubs.
Lionism is not only work, it is the fellowship, fun and social life which is fostered as we assist the community and work to help those less fortunate than ourselves.

Known for working to end preventable blindness, Lions participate in a vast variety of projects important to their communities. These projects range from cleaning up local parks to providing supplies to victims of natural disasters.
Beginning in 1917, the association of Lions clubs has provided millions of people with the opportunity to give something back to their communities.
Our motto is "We Serve".
