DONATE YOUR OUT-OF-PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES Lions help to conserve sight by providing usable eyeglasses to children and adults throughout the world. Donated eyeglasses can help millions to experience corrected vision for the first time, enabling them to read, attend school, gain employment and take care of their families. You can make a huge difference in someone's life simply by donating your unworn eyeglasses and spreading the word to others. |

Lionism began in the US in 1917 when a group of independent clubs responded to an ideal presented to them by Melvin Jones, a young Chicago insurance agent.
The ideal was one of service, as a group, to their fellow man without regards to politics, religion, race, or any personal interests of the members. This was heralded as a departure from the trend current at the time of forming clubs basically with a commercial motive. A conference was called of some 25 independent clubs on June 7, 1917 and from this meeting the organization was born.
The official name of " Lions" is "The International Association of Lions Clubs"
or simply "Lions Clubs International".
