As
Lions, we volunteer our time and efforts to humanitarian causes throughout
our district and the State of Virginia. By conducting service projects and
raising funds, we strive to help those in need - wherever the need exists:
locally or throughout the world community. The Lions' motto
is "We Serve."
Our association was
founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1917. Lions Clubs International has
grown to be the world's largest service organization with more than 1.4
million members belonging to local clubs in most countries of the world.
The headquarters of Lions Clubs International is in Oak Brook, Illinois.
The international association is governed by a board of directors, which
is elected annually at the International Convention.
Lions speak many
different languages and profess many religious and political beliefs;
however, they all subscribe to common objectives and ethical principles.
