- Members committed to solving worldwide health and social problems, and who realise that solutions are possible when every Lions Club participates.
- People who cherish the fellowship of their own Club, but who also feel a close kinship with Lions in over 200 countries throughout the world.
- Individuals dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical and moral standards in their Club – and in their personal lives.
- People who are serious about their commitment to humanitarian service, but have fun along the way.
Brief History
Lions Clubs began in 1917, as the dream of a Chicago businessman who believed that local business clubs should expand their horizons, from purely professional concerns to the betterment of their communities and the world at large. Over the last 90 years the International Association of Lions Clubs has grown to become the largest service club organisation in the world with over 1.3 million members in more than 46,000 clubs in 202 countries.
