We Serve Motto of Lions Clubs, International; founded 1907 at Chicago, IL Lions Clubs International was founded June 7, 1917 by businessman Melvin Jones at Chicago, Illinois. His personal code was, "You can't get very far until you start doing something for somebody else." The Lions mission is to empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace, and promote international understanding through Lions Clubs. Lions worldwide will celebrate their centennial in 2017 with the theme Where There s a need, there s a Lion. Today, there are 46,000 clubs in every corner of the world. The Auburn Lions Club was organized on April 21, 1965 by a group of men who cared about this community. Later, when women were added as Lions in 1987, Auburn, too, welcomed women into the Club. Today there are 20 men and women serving as Lions in Auburn. Club growth is always a goal. Interested? Contact Membership Chair Laura Timmons at 256-2163 or any of the Auburn Lions.
