President Steve Trodden

2. “You can’t get very far until you start doing something for someone else.”
- Melvin Jones
Melvin Jones explained his reasoning for the concept of service to the community with the saying, “You can’t get very far until you start doing something for someone else.”
For over100 years Lions around the world have proven Jones’ saying to be true by serving local, national, and global communities.

The Lions Clubs International Foundation was established in 1968 with the purpose of funding large-scale Lions humanitarian projects for sight, youth, disability, health, and disaster relief.

Another important part of being a Lion is understanding how Lions Clubs International is organized.
The organization of Lions Clubs International begins with you, the member, and with your club. But like all large organizations, there are a number of levels within the organization, each of which supports the others.
