Enter the 2011-12 Environmental Photo Contest

The Environmental Photo Contest (EPC) is a wonderful way for Lions from around the world to showcase the beauty of their environment. We invite all multiple districts to submit one photograph for the international EPC that will take place during our 2012 International Convention. We also feature many of the photos in our annual EPC wall calendar. Learn more about the 2012 EPC – and how to purchase the 2012 calendar.

Help Relieve Hunger in Your Community

International President Tam encourages us to believe that the world can be changed when we come together as Lions. During January, you can make a difference by joining our “Relieving the Hunger” Global Service Action Campaign. As part of this campaign, we’re providing resources to help you assess local needs, mobilize your club and plan a project. Consider organizing a community food drive, delivering food baskets to families in need, or planting a school vegetable garden. Find out about project resources.
