Proudly Serving Our Community Since 1938 Where is Port Dover   Come Join the Lions Lions are men and women who volunteer their time to humanitarian causes.   Bringing The World Together   We Give    We Share    We Inspire    We Serve         Lions Motto Contest Winner   Who are Lions? Lions are ordinary people just like you. Some are businessmen, teachers, fathers or empty nester retirees. One thing all Lions have in common is their desire to improve their communities, to help the needy and less fortunate. Virtually all communities have a local Lions Club. Lions volunteer their time, services and expertise; working to improve the quality of life in the local and global community. I am sure you have noticed the Lions Logo entering communities wherever your travels have taken you. Many communities have parks, sports facilities, community centres and much much more, built and or maintained by local Lions Club members just like you. Without Lions, many communities would not have much needed facilities and services. The unselfish caring members of the Lions Club offer a variety of goods and services to raise the funds required to provide the support to those fallen on hard times, and disaster relief in areas hit by catastrophe. It Takes a Lion The Lions spirit is the spirit of family, nurturing and sharing. Lionism takes pride in the accomplishments and contributions of others and the group. No room for selfishness envy or ego in the Lions family. Lions give, nurture, inspire and serve unselfishly and proudly for the betterment of humanity and the growth of civilisation. If you have spare time on your hands, the Lions can use you. If you want to improve your community, the Lions can use you. If you are new to your community, the Lions will welcome you. Join the Lions, have fun and improve the quality of life in your community. Becoming a Lion is by invitation only. Contact a Lion and ask to be invited to a Lions meeting. The Lions are volunteers and the Lions motto is: We Serve Lions Clubs International, in its relatively short history of just over 100 years, has grown into the world's largest service club organization. While other organizations have diminished in both scope and influence, Lions Clubs International has continued to be the leader in global humanitarian service.     Zone Chair Jim Fekete 2008 Lions Centennial Coin Centennial Coin Website SOLD OUT   Centennial Service Challenge To celebrate 100 years of serving humanity, we challenged Lions from around the world to serve 100 million people during our celebration. In true Lion fashion, that number was more than doubled with more than 248 million people served. Being a Lion Means Making an Impact Through Service Year after year, Lions serve hundreds of millions of people worldwide. And we're not slowing down.

Most Lions consider their volunteer service as their civic duty to their community, their nation and to the betterment of humanity. Volunteers accept significant responsibilities most organizations could not afford, yet could not exist without. Without accounatbility of its members, volunteer organizations could not function. Individual dedication and commitment to excellence is what makes Lions a formidable team in the world today."

Harmony . Humanity. “Bring Hope and Dignity through Service” 2014-2015 International President Joseph Preston's Theme Strenghten the Pride “A “pride” is a close-knit family of lions, as can be found in the savannahs of central Africa. Each member of the pride has responsibilities. Whether they are the hunters, protectors, caregivers, teachers, or learners, they work as a team, for survival and prosperity. If even one member of the pride does not fulfill its role, it can affect the entire group.” 2013-2014 International President Barry J. Palmer's Theme Follow Your Dream “A dream embraces our most cherished longings. It embodies our very identity. We often won't feel fulfilled as human beings until we relize our dreams.” 2012-2013 International President Wayne A. Madden's Theme In A World of Service In a world of need, there is someone to help. In a world of suffering, there is someone who cares. In a world of destruction, there is someone to provide relief. In a world of illiteracy, there is someone to teach. And in a world of service, there is one name that stands out among others - Lions Clubs International. That's what we do. That's what we have always done. It is our motto, and the reason we exist. I Believe Our 2011-2012 international president's theme, I Believe, expresses the thought that the Lions of the world have created a culture organized around a belief in the value of giving back - and a belief that one person truly can make a difference.
