What Is A Lions Club?

Your local Lions Club is one of 44,700 Lions Clubs actively serving their communities in 186 countries and geographical areas of the world. Lions Clubs International is the world''s largest service club organization. Its 1.4 million members are dedicated to bettering the quality of life for the handicapped, the poor, the sick and the aged. The motto of Lions Clubs International is "WE SERVE," and Lions live this motto with enthusiasm.

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.

What Do Lions Do?

Our Motto is “WE SERVE” and we strive to live up to that standard

The genius of Lionism is that the local club has complete autonomy in determining its area of service within its own community. In addition to their own local projects and charities, Lions Clubs join with other Lions throughout the world to help people in need. The Lions Clubs of District 22-A work together to support International, State and District programs and projects.
