History
Founded in Chicago, Illinois, in 1917, by businessman Melvin Jones.
Since its inception, Lions Clubs International has been dedicated
to helping those less fortunate in their communities and around
the world. In 1925, Helen Keller challenged the members to be
"knights of the blind." "We Serve" became
the association's official motto in 1954.
