Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest service organisationwith 46,000 clubs and more than 1.4 million members working withtheir local communities in over 200 countries.

Its founding is credited to the initiative of Chicago businessman,Melvin Jones. He envisaged a new type of service-centred club wheremembers would put their talents to work to improve their communities.

The Association of Lions Clubs was formed at a meeting on 7 June1917 in Chicago. The desire to serve others was compelling and on 12 March 1920, the first club was established outside the US in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Expansion to China occurred in 1926, followed by the first Lions Club in Mexico a year later.

By the 1940s, Lions Clubs were established across North America,South America and Asia.

The story of the arrival of Lions Clubs in Europe involves a 29-yearold man from Stockholm, Torgny Lange, who had a scholarship tostudy journalism in New York.

Invited to attend the 1946 Lions International Convention in Philadelphia as a guest, Lange met Melvin Jones and learned that thetwo men shared the same birthday. Such congeniality led to Langepromising to start a Lions club in Sweden.

It took two years before the first European club was founded in Stockholm on 24 March 1948, with the next established in Genevathree weeks later on 16 April.

After Canadian Lions provided invaluable support for British childrenorphaned in the Second World War, the then Queen Elizabeth senther equerry Colonel Edward Wyndham (later Lord Leconfield) toconvey her thanks.

He was so impressed that the Windsor Lions Club agreed to sponsorthe first London club, with Lord Leconfield becoming its foundingCharter President in 1950.

Today, HRH The Countess of Wessex is a member of the WokinghamLions Club and Royal Patron of the Lions Clubs of the British Isles.

In 1955, Dublin became the first Lions Club started in Ireland,being co-sponsored by the London Club and the Capitol Hill Clubof Washington.

Lions History

That’s the question posedin a DVD produced by theUniversity of Surrey whichtraces the history of Lions inour Multiple District from itsbeginnings in 1950.

Superbly narrated by actress Penelope Keith(pictured) who gave her services voluntarily, the DVD touches on theorigins of the Lions movement in1917 when Melvin Jones set up the first Club in Chicago having observed that businessmen (and itwas only men in those days ofcourse) could use their drive, initiative and talents tohelp others less fortunate, thus giving birth to theprinciples of Lions which survive to this day acrossthe world.

In her voiceover Miss Keith outlinesthe coming of Lions to what was tobecome Multiple District 105.“It wasn’t until after the Second WorldWar that Lions reached our shores.During the war, Canadian servicemenposted to London were appalled by the

conditions the children of the Blitz were living in. Not onlywere their fathers fighting overseas, and their mothersworking in factories, but the children had to deal withpoor food, few clothes,constant danger andmany of their homesbeing destroyed aroundthem.

“Through the LionsClubs in Canada theservicemen raised fundsto help, and were expecting the Lions Clubs in England todistribute them. Unfortunately, there was a small problem- there weren’t any!

“So instead The Queen Mother, at that timeQueen Elizabeth - who was Patron of the Churchof England Children’s Society, arranged for theSociety to distribute the funds on behalf of theCanadian Lions.”

The story goes on to record how after thewar Queen Elizabeth was so grateful to theCanadian Lions that she sent her equerry,

Colonel Edward Wyndham (later Lord Leconfield) toCanada to thank them for their help. During his visithe was invited to Chicago to visit the Headquarters ofLions Clubs International and to see what Lions wasreally all about.

“He was so impressed by what he saw that soon after hereturned to England he set up the first Lions Club in theBritish Isles and Ireland in 1950 now known as the LondonHost Club.”

Grainy black and white footage of the time shows thevenue for the very first meetings of this prestigious newClub, the Criterion Restaurant above the Lillywhite’sbuilding in Piccadilly Circus in London’s West End.

Tribute is paid in the film toHelen Keller, ‘an inspirationalauthor, political activist andlecturer who had become blindand deaf at the age of 19 monthsthrough illness’ and recountshow she addressed the 1925Lions International Conventionwhere she issued her famouschallenge to Lions worldwide to ‘become Knights of theBlind in the Crusade against Darkness.’

The film goes on to record the many achievements ofthe Lions of the British Isles, including their work, inthe spirit of Helen Keller, in alleviating preventableblindness, fundraising in the aftermath of the terribleAsian Tsunami, work in Bosnia/Hergovina to save

the lives of children and babies,Message in a Bottle, Special Olympics,MedicAlert and the multitude oflocal Club activities such as fun daysout for needy and disabled people,fireworks and care for the elderly.

Story

Who are the Lions?

The world is a very different place from that where Lions ClubsInternational first served local communities a hundred years ago.Yet, the desire of Lions members to serve others and help meet theneeds of society are much the same.

One major change is the ease with which the efforts of Lionsmembers can be combined internationally. When we come together to focus on specific challenges facing humanity, Lions Clubs are ableto make a phenomenal difference.

By 2021, Lions Clubs International aims to triple its humanitarianimpact in five key areas to have a positive effect on 200 million peopleevery year. The Lions Clubs Global Service Framework comprisesnational and international projects alongside more focused andtargeted efforts within local communities.

Coach Jim Graver started the Leo ball rolling in 1957and chances are that ball was a baseball. Graver wasthe baseball coach of the Abington High School inPennsylvania, USA and an active member of the Glenside Lions Club. With help from his fellow Lion,William Ernst, the first Leo club was charted on December 5, 1957.

As the world's first Leo Club, the Abington HighSchool Leo Club created the Leo acronym – Leadership, Equality, Opportunity – and chose their school colours, maroon and gold to serve as theLeo Club colours. Later, Equality was changed to Experience.

In October 1967, the Board of Directors of LionsClubs International adopted the Leo Club Programmeas an official programme of the association.

The Leo Club Programme has continued to growwithin the last 50 years. Leos now constitute aninternational network of over 6,500 clubs in over140 countries. Community service remains thecornerstone of the programme, fostering a lifetimecommitment to helping others. Like their Lioncounterparts, Leo Club members enjoy serving theirneighbours and watching positive results unfold.

THEIMPORTANCE

OF OUR

Partners

LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL BRITISH ISLESwww.lionsclubs.co

No organisation works in isolation, we all need partners, organisations

who will assist us in developing the work we undertake, provide

sponsorship for major events and projects or work with us so that we may

maximise the impact of our efforts.

The Lions of the British Isles haveworked with a range of organisations,some of them for over 50 years, and

we are delighted to invite their representatives to join us tonight

in celebrating our Centenary.

We greatly appreciate what we havebeen able to achieve, together, as a consequence of these partnerships

and look forward to working together as we enter our second

century of ‘Service’.

PID Phil Nathan MBE reflects on our

Centenary Celebrations1. Centennial Programme

The International Association of Lions Club began inJune 1917 and to celebrate the 100th Anniversary, athree-year programme of events, encompassing fivemajor service areas, was launched, to run from July 2015to June 2018. Within the British lsles, our programmefor the Association’s Centennial was formally launched atour 2015 Multiple District Convention, in Birmingham.

The programme that was developed, involvingrepresentatives from each of our Districts, created aframework of projects that every Club could participatein. As one Lion said: ‘I like it all, I want to be involved inthem all, there is something for every Club, regardless of size.’

When I presented the MD Centennial Challengeprogramme, I stressed that ‘Service’ was the key to theprogramme and I am delighted that Clubs have acceptedthese Challenges, there have been some outstandingexamples of ‘Service’ done throughout our communitiesover the past 32 months.

As I have stressed throughout, these challenges were notabout the numbers. Each number represents a life, a lifepositively affected by the ‘Service’ we have provided.

We are now in the final year of the Centennialcelebrations and I continue to be impressed by theextraordinary activities being undertaken across theBritish isles and am confident that the success of ourservice challenges and our legacy projects will be longremembered.

Over the first weekend of March one of our Districts is to make an attempt on theworld record for the longest chain of spectacles. The aim is to ‘link’ 50,000 pairs to cover a distance of some 6 kilometres!
