Welcome
This web site will inform the visitor of the contributions made by members of
the Stittsville District Lions Club to the betterment of our community.
Prospective members are encouraged to contact our President or Secretary as
noted below.
Lions International
Lions are members of community service clubs, dedicated to the idea that the men
and women who live in a community are in the best position to know who needs
help and why. More than 44,500 strong, these local clubs are part of the world's
largest such organization, with 1.4 million members serving in more than 180
countries and areas. The association is both non-political and non-sectarian.
Lions are now best known for their sight-related programs, including
SightFirst,
the world's largest blindness prevention program.
Nearly 1.4 million Lions members in 192 countries and geographic areas answer
the needs that challenge the communities of the world. Lions tackle tough
problems like blindness, drug abuse prevention and diabetes awareness.
The Lions organization was founded on June 7, 1917 in Chicago,
Illinois, USA, by Melvin Jones (1879-1961)
- To Create and foster a spirit of understanding among the peoples of
the world.

welfare of the community.
- To Unite the clubs in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship and

ethical standards in commerce, industry, professions, public works
