We Serve

Lions of Oregon & Northern California are a part of an international network of 1.4 million men and women in 200 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world. Lions are best known for working to end preventable blindness, the giving of eyeglasses and hearing aids for the needy and local service projects.

 

Mission Statement of Lions Clubs International:

 

"To create and foster a spirit of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs by providing voluntary services through community involvement and international cooperation."

 

It’s Time To Move Forward, Start Your Lion’s Year

     The Lions Year ends and the New Lions Year begins.  We need to thank our leaders at all levels who enriched and led our clubs to do great things.  We need to welcome our leaders for the next year who will bring a new perspective and direction for your clubs.

     As Club leaders you will join with new district leaders, multiple district, and international leaders in plotting the future of lions’ clubs internationally.   You will be part of the district governor’s advisory committee:   serving your local community, but also serving the world and changing the world one step at a time.

     The resources are available from your leaders to make your job easier and enable you to serve your club to the best of your ability.   You have many levels of knowledge and leadership available to you to help you achieve your goals this year.   You have the district governor and his knowledgeable cabinet who stand ready to lend assistance any time they are asked.  The Lions Clubs International web page has a membership resource page with helpful links to member resources for all of the officers of your club.

     It’s time to move forward, start your lion’s year.  Get satisfaction from a job well done.   Have fun, make your club meetings fun.   There is a whole new world out there.   You are changing the world.

Will you not help me hasten the day when there shall be no preventable blindness; no little deaf, blind child untaught; no blind man or woman unaided? I appeal to you Lions, you who have your sight, your hearing, you who are strong and brave and kind. Will you not constitute yourselves Knights of the Blind in this crusade against darkness?
— Helen Keller's Speech at 1925 International Convention Cedar Point, Ohio, USA June 30, 1925
