Who We Are

We are men, women and youth who reside in your community and volunteer our time and efforts to humanitarian causes through our district, the State of Virginia and the world. By conducting service projects and raising funds we strive to help indigent people locally and throughout the world community. The Lions' motto is "We Serve".

Our association was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1917. Lions Club International has grown to be the world's largest service organization with more than 1.3 million members belonging to approximately 43,000 local clubs in 202 countries and geographical areas. Lions Club International headquarters is located in Oak Brook, Illinois and is governed by a board of directors, which are elected annually at our International Convention.

In 1925, Helen Keller addressed the Lions at their convention in Cedar Point, Ohio and challenged them to become "Knight of the Blind in the Crusade against Darkness". Since that challenge, service to the blind and visually impaired is one of the association's most significant activities.

Lions come from many countries and speak different languages and profess many religions and political beliefs: however, they all subscribe to common objectives and ethical principles.
