Founded in Chicago Illinois, U.S.A. in 1917 by Melvin Jones, Lions International is now the largest active service club in the world. Membership is over 1.4 million with more than 44 thousand clubs in 185 countries and geographic areas.

Our motto is “We Serve”

Our slogan is “Liberty, Intelligence, Our Nations Safety”

Our emblem consists of a gold letter “L” on a circular purple field. This is framed in gold with two Lions profiles facing away from the centre. The words “LIONS” and “International” appear at the top and bottom. The Lions faces represent our proud past and confident future.

Our colours are purple (loyalty and integrity) and gold (sincerity, liberality, purity, and generosity).
