Welcome to www.lionsclub.info
web home of Southport Lions Club
Our website has a new look as well as a new address! The address is really easy to remember, and hopefully it's very logical. How do people think of us? We're the Lions Club. What do they want to know? Information. Put the two together, and we have www.lionsclub.info
The very first Lion was Melvin Jones who, in Chicago in 1917, decided that it would be a Good Thing to club together with a few like-minded friends to try to improve the lot of mankind. A daunting task, perhaps, but within a few years hundreds, and then thousands, of others had joined in. By 1950, Lions Clubs had crossed the Atlantic, and taken root in the UK. In the past fifty years, more than 900 other Clubs have joined the Lions Club of London (Host) to recruit more than 40,000 Lions throughout the British Isles.
So, who are the Lions? We like to think of ourselves as ordinary people who do (or try to do) amazing things.
We are men and women who volunteer our time to try to make life better for others. We have no religious, political or social affiliation. The only qualifications for membership are a willingness to do whatever we can, and a desire to live up to the Lions motto "We Serve." Why do we do it? There are probably as many answers to that question as there are Lions. And if you have read this far, you almost certainly know the answer already.
