About Lions International
Lions are volunteer members of clubs grouped under an International organization, where they enjoy fellowship, develop their leadership capacities and dedicate part of their time free to help those in need all over the world, while making their individual communities a better place in which to live. Lionism began in the United States in 1917 when a group of independent clubs responded to an ideal presented to them by a young Chicago insurance agent, Melvin Jones.
The ideal was one of service as a group to their fellow men without regard to politics, religion, race or in any way the personal interests of the members. This was heralded as a departure from the then current trend of forming clubs mainly for commercial motives. A conference was called and some 25 independent clubs responded and the Lions organization was born.
From the start, the emphasis has been on service in all forms to less fortunate members of the community. The club constitution, as recommended by the Association, may be adapted by the local club to suit its own particular needs within the Association and International constitutions. This autonomy of individual clubs and the emphasis on practical service are the two main factors in maintaining growth and progress.
