Lions International History

Local "Lions Clubs" were formed as early as 1916 in places like Evansville, Indiana and Dallas, Texas. In 1917, Melvin Jones, a Chicago insurance agent, convinced his local business club to expand their professional ambitions and join other local clubs with the common goal of improving their communities and bettering the world at large. He proposed a national organization, and this proposal became a reality in October 1917. With the formation of a club in Windsor, Ontario, Canada in 1920, the Lions Club became an international organization.

Today, The International Association of Lions Clubs is the world's largest community service organization, boasting 1.4 million members in 197 countries, all of whom are dedicated to seeking out and helping not only the visually impaired, but also all of those in need throughout the globe. In addition to assisting the blind, local Lions Clubs finance vocational training for the underprivileged and disabled, sponsor youth drug awareness and educational programs, and provide hands-on service such as cleaning up area parks.
