Why Lions remain dedicated to vision awareness? Answer!

Lions Clubs International, the largest service organization in the world, was founded on June 7th, 1917 by a young insurance salesman named Melvin Jones. To become a Melvin Jones Fellow is one of the highest honors in Lionism. What is Lionism? If you have membership interests, use this link to Lions International club locator tool.

The Lions remained without a unified focus until the 1925 International convention in Cedar Point, Ohio when, as the keynote speaker, Helen Keller (Life Story) delivered the inspirational speech changing the direction of Lionism forever. After her presentation, Lions were compelled to adopt the cause of blindness and vision related activities. Still today, Lions remain committed to be her "Knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness" through International Association's Objects & Ethics as we practice the motto "We Serve".
