District 26-M7 of the Missouri Lions Club

Lion members serve others.  An indirect benefit of membership is you grow personally and meet potential clients, new friends, and associates.  District 26-M7 is approximately 1,200 hard working members who are dedicated to serving Central Missouri communities in Benton, Callaway, Camden, Cole, Gasconade, Maries, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan, and Osage Counties.  
 
Improving vision is what we do best.  Helen Keller, in an address to the Lions Clubs International Convention in 1925, challenged the Lions to become “Knights of the Blind” by eliminating preventable blindness.  But our efforts go beyond vision. We sponsor activities supporting youth and civic programs, provide park facilities, provide college scholarships, and conduct a host of other activities reflecting our motto, “We Serve.” Our great level of service reflects our motto “The Heart of Missouri Lions.” 

Please consider joining the Lions by contacting edbier@sbcglobal.net or call (573) 280-8930. 

Serving with Pride!

Lions Clubs International

Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core  belief – to serve their community.

Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization. We have 1.35 million members in more than 45,000 clubs in more than 206 countries and geographic areas.

Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects – including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.

Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness.

Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest.

Our
Leo Program provides the youth of the world with an opportunity for personal development through volunteering. There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries worldwide.

Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than US$700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times.

Lions help during disasters. Together, our Foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies – and aiding in long-term reconstruction.

Lions are active. Our motto is "We Serve." Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities.
