Discover how in 1917 a group of businessmen in Chicago created the world's largest humanitarian service club organization!
This book tells a detailed and unique history of Lions Clubs International, and highlights the work of dedicated members who provide community service and help people worldwide.
Founded in Chicago in June 1917, the dream of a group of visionaries, led by Melvin Jones, from Fort Thomas, Arizona and Dr. William P. Woods, from Evansville, Indiana, is today the largest service club organization in the world.
Almost 100 years old, the International Association of Lions Clubs can be found in 208 countries and geographic areas, with 1.35 million members participating in more than 45,000 Lions clubs.
Originally published in 1995, this revised edition includes new data and extensive research about international conventions, the leadership of international presidents and directors, and photographs of the past 97 years. It also describes the role of Lions Clubs International in the founding of the United Nations in 1945.

Harry Truman, former president of the United States stated, "In my lifetime I have known many great ideas: but none as great as this of Lionism." Former president of the United States Jimmy Carter became a member of the Plains Lions Club in the state of Georgia, was a district governor, and up to this date he works in partnership
