Lions
are...
- Members
of the world's largest and most active service club
organization.
- Men
and women who believe that by working together they
will accomplish far more than would be possible as
individuals.
- Members
committed to solving worldwide health and social problems,
and who realize that solutions are possible when every
Lions club does its share.
- People
who cherish the fellowship of their own club, but who
also feel a close kinship with Lions in over 180 countries
and areas throughout the world.
- Patriotic
citizens of their own countries, who, in the global
community, strive for a world at peace. 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.
The
work of Lions since 1917 has resulted in...
- Creation
of SightFirst, a blindness prevention program that
aims to eliminate preventable and reversible blindness
worldwide.
- Establishment
and operation of a majority of the world's eye banks,
resulting in approximately 10,000 sight-restoring corneal
transplants every year.
- Development
and implementation of the Lions-Quest life-skills curricula,
which have provided millions of young people with the
skills to make responsible decisions to refuse drugs,
alcohol, tobacco and other threats to a healthy future.
- Hospitals,
clinics, playgrounds, parks and thousand of facilities
that enhance day-to-day life in our communities.
- Services
to the blind, including dog guides, white canes, and
a wide variety of employment opportunities and vocational
training.
- Immediate
disaster relief and support for rebuilding efforts.
- The
sponsorship of Leo clubs and participation of young
adults in youth exchanges and international youth camps.
These provide a firsthand opportunity for youth to
experience the first object of Lions Clubs International:
To create and foster a spirit of understanding among
the peoples of the world.
