WHO WE ARE

We are a group of kind-hearted individuals who have come together to serve our community, embodying the essence of our name “LEADS” – Lions for Excellent, Amiable, and Dazzling Service. Our members include highly skilled professionals and successful entrepreneurs, united by their compassionate hearts and dedication to quality service. Being a Lion means leading by example, fostering relationships, and improving socio-economic conditions through acts of kindness. Devoting our time and energy to others benefits the community and brings us fulfillment, positively influencing our lives and interactions.

Each Lions Club is unique in its approach, supported by the Lions Clubs International Association. With over 300 dedicated staff members, Lions International continually develops tools and technology to enhance our services. The Lions movement began a century ago, and we continue to move forward with even greater passion in serving our communities. We hold true to our motto, “We Serve,” committed to providing meaningful value to those we assist.

SERVICE

FELLOWSHIP.

In 1917, Melvin Jones, the visionary founder of Lions Clubs International, introduced the profound concept: “Service through Fellowship”. United by fellowship, Lions convene not only for camaraderie but to deliberate impactful charity projects. In these moments, plans are conceived, and the spirit of service ignites, illuminating the path for compassionate action that extends a helping hand to those in need. The Lions movement stands as a testament to the enduring power of service rooted in the bonds of fellowship.
