Lions Club International was established on four outstanding qualities - Courage, Strength, Activity and Fidelity. The name Lions was retained to reinforce the strong, majestic ideals the association has adopted. The Lion has historically been the symbol of all that was good. It is a name that stands for loyalty... to a friend, to a principle, to a duty, to a trust.

Through the years, Lions have worked tirelessly to carry their message to ccommunities around the world. By establishing a global presence, Lions continue to foster the association's vision of members united in service. Endless hard work has allowed Melvin Jones' dream to live for all the world to see.
