Facts about the Lions
The International Association of Lions Clubs was formed in 1917 by Melvin Jones in Chicago, Illinois. Since that time the Lions have grown to become the world's largest Service Organization, with more than 1.4 million members of the more than 45,000 Clubs throughout 200 countries and geographical areas of the world. Since the international convention of 1925, when Helen Keller addressed the delegates and challenged them to be "Knights of the Blind", Lions club members have adopted as the primary mission of assisting the blind and visually impaired. We accepted her challenge and continue to do so through the combined efforts of all Lions Clubs worldwide. The association has also made a strong commitment to community service and the world's young people. Lions around the word are dedicating themselves to eradicating preventable blindness; financing vocational training to help the underprivileged and disabled gain economic independence; and sponsoring drug awareness and education programs for youth
Lions Club International has evolved to meet new needs and greater demands, but our mission has never wavered: "We Serve" and Paradise Lions Club is committed to serving our local community.
