What is a Lion?
A Lion is an individual who desires to be of service to his (or her)
community. Willingness within his means to expend his energy and resources
for the benefit of that community and those less fortunate than he. He seeks
no personal gain through his affiliation with Lionism. He seeks and gives
comradeship among his fellows.
Why Should I Become a Lion?
In becoming a Lion you will share in the recognition of being a member of
the largest service organization in the world. You will be recognized in your
community as a volunteer working toward improving life for those less
fortunate. You can gain experience in the conduct of meetings and experience
the thrill of leadership in your Lions Club.
How Can I Become a Lion?
Attend a meeting as a guest of a Lion or Club. Membership is by invitation
extended by a Lion. Let your host know of your desire to join--or send in an
application form to the Club. After a meeting (or two) as a guest, you
complete the application and give it to your host or the Membership
Chairman. Board action confirms or denies your application. Your host
notifies you of your acceptance. Upon receipt of payment of dues and
initiation fee your Membership Chairman will schedule your installation
date. Your installation as a Lion Cub into the Host Lions Club is conducted
by a Past President of your club or other dignitary from the District. This
occasion is considered to be a solemn and joyous moment for the club as
another member joins the "We Serve" organization and for you the sharing of
that privilege. Membership Application
