In 2017 the International Association of Lions Clubs celebrated their 100 years of service to the world. The International Association is recognized for their
service to the visually impaired and hearing impaired. The majority of
the world's eye banks have been established by and are currently
supported by Lions Clubs, as are hundreds of clinics, hospitals and eye
research centers.
In Virginia, Lions Clubs have been serving their communities since
November of 1921. The Lions Clubs of our district raises well over a
million dollars a year through various fund raising activities. We
return every dollar to our individual community or to the world
community. |

We provide eye exams
and eyeglasses, hearing exams and hearing aids, food baskets to the
needy, scholarships to handicapped students, support for youth
activities such as diabetes awareness programs, drug abuse awareness
programs, leader dogs for the visually impaired and hearing dogs for
the hearing impaired. We own and operate the Northern Virginia Lions
Youth Camp located near Paris, Virginia in the Shenandoah Mountains and
participate in youth exchange programs with youth from around the
world. We also locally sponsor a peace poster contest in conjuction
with the International Association of Lions Clubs. We recycle used
eyeglasses and prepare them for people in third world countries, where
a pair of eyeglasses is often more than a month's wages. Watch for our
eyeglass collection boxes throughout the area. |
