Our MissionWe are the largest service organization in the world, with over 1.3 million volunteer members world-wide. "We Serve" has been the motto of Lions Clubs for several years now. In 1925, Helen Keller challenged Lions Clubs to become the "Knights of the Blind." Sight related projects are the real passion of every Lions club and diabetes awareness. You will find clubs provide much needed help to those in their communities to get eye exams and glasses among other things. Guide dogs are also provided to those sight impaired. Lions Clubs help their communities in which they live to be better places all by volunteers. Our District is the only one in the State of Ohio that has an Eye Care Foundation that helps those in the District get serious sight related needs met. It consists of a Board with a surgical advisor to oversee the needs in the 5 county area and help where local Lions Clubs fall short of funds. This is a true gem in our District we are proud of. We hope you understand our reason to exist as volunteers known as Lions and our need to exist in each of our communities. Countless efforts go into making all this possible.
ProfileOur District has a District Governor, a First Vice District Governor and a Second Vice District Governor. The Governor chooses a cabinet every year to help him achieve the goals of good Lions Clubs. Each Governor has his own slightly different theme in keeping with what Lions do. Our District of Clubs fall under the Lions Clubs International, it's direction and legal advice. Countless individuals have been helped by Lions Clubs worldwide. Several have been helped with their eyesight needs and the funds to do so. Lions Clubs International has helped prevent the spread of river blindness around the world with a simple vaccine introduced in the form of a small pill. In 1917, Melvin Jones, a Chicago businessman, started the first Lions Club. He was challenged by the needs of the city and called several friends and volunteers to help him. Several followed soon after. In 1925, at Cedar Point, Ohio, Helen Keller challenged the Lions to become the "Knights of the Blind." Ever since, preventable blindness and sight related projects have been the passion of Lions Clubs.
