Through membership in a Lions club,
people not only help those in need, but have opportunities to develop
personal friendships and gain valuable leadership skills.
Membership is open to men and women of legal majority
and good reputation in the community, and is by invitation only. Clubs meet
at least twice a month (with the exception of the months of July and August
for most clubs) and elect officers annually. The association is governed by
an international board of directors. Each year, approximately 20,000 Lions
attend the international convention to discuss new ideas, share experiences
and reaffirm friendship and fellowship.
Those interested in membership should
contact their local Lions club. To locate a Lions club in District A-1, go
to the District A-1 list of clubs in the District
Directory or the
Lions International web
site and click on the link "Find a club near you". |
