The title question has been asked so many times to club members. The word LIONS stand for “LIBERTY INTELLIGENCE OUR NATIONS SAFETY.”
Lions are committed to partnering with local leaders and organizations, identifying the unique needs of their communities and surrounding areas, and planning service projects that address those needs. From community clean-up projects to food drives to fundraisers, Lions help people in need who are far and close to home.
The Orange Lions Club is one of 44,700 Lions Clubs actively serving their communities, in 186 countries and geographical areas of the world.
Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest service club organization. Its 1.4 million members are dedicated to bettering the quality of life for the handicapped, the poor, the sick and the aged.
The motto of Lions Clubs International is “WE SERVE,” and Lions live this motto with enthusiasm.
A Lions Club is not a fraternal, social or political organization. It is a group of civic-minded men and women who have banded together to do the things they cannot do alone. Lions are willing and anxious to give their time, energy and resources in service to others.
A person is rewarded in “Lionism” by the pleasure and satisfaction of serving others, by improving the community in which he or she lives, and by endeavoring to leave the world a better place than he or she found it. The rewards are in direct proportion to the efforts expended.
By investing time and effort in club activities, a person receives dividends in new friendships, new status in the community and a heart-warming sense of fulfillment from doing something good for others. A Lions Club is a medium through which all of these things are available to reputable men and women of good will.
