By Virginia Cook


Social clubs and like organizations are numerous and have varied programs that always provide some good companionship and have systems of providing services to those in need. Many are international in scope and will have chapters in major cities in the US and around the world. Most are great organizations that have standards for the quality of life of the people who belong to it and those that they serve.

Lions Clubs International is one of the best kind of fraternal clubs, with highly respected members where there chapters are located. Multiple Districts 19 Lions is the overall district for British Columbia province and the state of Washington and Idaho. A type of Lions district with wider coverage as well as numerous chapters more than average.

This unit is further organized into smaller regional units for better operability, cohesiveness and integrity for outreach services. The district is accessible online as well as through the various group HQs. Potential members are advised to follow their announcements closely and adhere to the advertised slogans and concerns relevant to the group.

Those who wish entry must have the primary spirit of volunteerism needed for being a Lion. This spirit moves groups and individuals to positively and concretely address the challenges facing communities all over the world. There is only one real justification for this active part of services and programs, and that is the motto, We Serve.

The club was founded in Chicago, Illinois on June 7, 1917. The founding Lion was Melvin Jones and from its inception it has maintained a strong sense of its mission of service. The club went from 0 to many, many chapters in a short time, having also a populist and very progressive view that has attracted many members through the years.

LIONS stand for the the virtues that its members practice and made into a practical slogan. These virtues are Liberty, Intelligence and Our Nations Safety. It is part of the democratic process that the group has propagated with great success in many countries, with the help of many members in those same countries.

Men and women in communities who are recognized for having good reputations and are of legal age are usually invited to join. For members, there are rules and guidelines that provide a way to pick out the best potential Lions who can be of great value to service missions. Once again, all interested persons can visit local chapters for more information on this.

There are flags and banners used by the group to represent all the virtues it stands for. Purple is meant to symbolize integrity and loyalty, gold symbolizes the virtues of liberality, purity, sincerity and generosity. The relevant colors are often used in sashes, uniforms and other official signage used during missions and socials.

Goals that are basic to the Lions International programs are connected to the preservation of hearing and eyesight for those who are afflicted with these problems. Many more goals can be put up whenever and wherever needed, and these are decided on by members in connection to national issues. Lions often work with local governments or groups with the same ideals for a team effort in delivering great and intensive help for people.
