Operation Of 19 Lions Firm To Affiliates

By Martha Green


Lions is an international club founded by Melvin Jones in Chicago Illinois on the 7th of May in the year 1917. The mission of this club is accurately brought out in its motto that states: we serve. Lions consists of 53 lions and 5 lioness clubs and approximately a population of 1.4 million members with the slogan:19 Lions Liberty Intelligence Our Nation Safety.

The club has some official colors which have different representations having purple to represent loyalty and integrity, gold to represent sincerity, liberality, purity as well as generosity. The entity is open for membership for individuals who are of legal majority and have good reputation in the community who have to be invited before becoming members. Interested members are required to contact their local club.

The organization has a workshop known as Club Excellence Process which focuses on improving the organization where each club in attendance is guided by a facilitator in going through four steps each lasting for four hours. The members attending the workshop are required to complete a number of assignments while being guided by a facilitator. The facilitator is responsible on deciding the time which the entity members should complete the assignment which is based on the reason for holding the workshop, the factors that lead to an excellent club, how to determine the needs of a club and finally what the organization need to do next.

Just like most associations there are laws and constitutions. These laws and constitution consider the name and the territorial limits, the multiple districts objects, club officers, council of governors, conventions and the finances. They focus on the effectiveness and efficiency of the functions of our club and equality among the members.

The faculty of this club can be developed through a number of ways: creating club branches, club membership committees, club planning sessions, developing and retaining members. Holding club meetings that prove to be effective will also contribute to the institutions development as well as keeping the organization involved and focusing on the growth of this club.

Sight programs, hearing programs, diabetes programs and youth programs are the main focus of lions. The Northwest eyeglass recycling center has been introduced to manage the sight program of organization and managed to be the top center in eye-care and transplants of corneal all across the world. Three of programs are directed to deal with older adults while still planning on starting other programs for children of school age in order to make vision one of health priorities.

There are programs focused on restoring the hearing ability which include the hearing aid program that is responsible in providing hearing aid to all those who are not able to purchase it and the All American Hearing Program and is the specific provider in western part of Washington that is participating in the program. There is also support of other groups that offer other services that aim at helping the community financially and in providing additional health care.

Patients suffering from diabetes and the youth are also subjects of interest in the club. There are programs that deal with the youth and provide medical attentions for the individuals suffering from the disease. Youths are mentored in the program through workshops held.
