Activities
The motto of every Lions Club is . We Serve. Whether helping the blind or
deaf, conducting drug or diabetes awareness campaigns, providing
recreational opportunities for the handicapped, sponsoring research into
the causes and treatment of blindness, providing children with sports
equipment or just a place to play, or raising funds to make it all
possible, service to the needy and the disadvantages comes first for a Lion.
Fellowship
At the very heart of Lionism lies a camaraderie, among both the local club
members and between Lions from every part of the world. It exists not only
at club meetings but particularly when Lions are working together to help
those in need in their communities. The friendships made in Lionism lasts a
lifetime because they are based on a common and enjoyable commitment to
service.
