One of The Largest Lions Club in Virginia !
May 2003 was the first time in the history of MD 24 that the State Convention had been held west of Roanoke. We are now planning, once again, to host the Virginia Lions State Convention in 2008. We will count on all our area club members to help us make this upcoming 2008 convention productive and successful!

What Is Lionism?
Who are the Lions?
Lions Club International was founded in 1917 by a young insurance salesman named Melvin Jones. The Lions remained without a unified focus until the 1925 International Convention in Cedar Point, Ohio when the keynote speaker, Helen Keller, delivered an inspirational speech changing the direction of Lionism forever. After this speech, Lions were compelled to adopt the cause of blindness and vision related activites.

Lioness Clubs
Lioness Clubs are formed for women who want to serve with the Lions, but would rather be part of a group of women who have the same goals and vision as the Lions Clubs. They bring their own special talents and motivation to their service as a Lioness. E-mail us for more information about Lioness Clubs.
