Lions Clubs International were begun on 7 June 1917 in America by a Chicago businessman.

As members of Lions Clubs we volunteer our time and skills to provide selfless, effective, community service to answer the needs that challenge communities. By doing this we enjoy the Fun and Fellowship of serving the community at both Local, National and International levels."
