Definition of a Lions Club:

The Origin:

Lionism began in the United States in 1917 when a group of independent clubs responded to an ideal presented to them by a young Chicago insurance agent, Melvin Jones. The ideal was one of a service as a group. To those in need without regard to politics, religion, race, or in any way the 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 Name:

The official name of "Lions" is:"The International Association of Lions Clubs" or simple "Lions Clubs International"
