LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL
The International Association of Lions Clubs was
created in 1917 from a dream of Chicagoan Melvin
Jones for “business leaders to give something back to
their community”. In 1925 the Lions Clubs became
“knights of the blind in the crusade against blindness”
and assist those people who are blind or visually
impaired. The Lions Club has grown to over 46,000
clubs in 208 countries worldwide. Additionally, the
Lions Club has been helping many people of all walks
of life in meeting the demands of today’s world by
providing food, shelter assistance, eye examinations
and glasses, hearing examinations and hearing aides,
public awareness and education on visual and hearing
impairment, fixing up parks, and many other things.
FLORIDA LIONS CLUBS
There are five districts of Lions Clubs around the
State of Florida. In addition to supporting Lions Club
International, there are many state projects, which
each club supports. Some of those projects are the
Conklin Centers for the Blind located in Volusia
County and Southeastern Guide Dogs located in
Palmetto. The Ocoee Lions Club supports the West
Orange Girls Club, Ocoee Little League, Ocoee
Bulldogs and the Cheerleaders and the City of Ocoee,
to name a few.
OCOEE LIONS CLUB
