Welcome to Pokeno and Districts Lions Club 

Working Toward a Brighter Future

WHO WE ARE

Welcome to the Pokeno and District Lions Club webpage. Here, we aim to keep you updated with what your local Lions are doing in the Pokeno community.

​

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

​

Lions International have a dynamic history. Founded in 1916, we 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, to fight the major causes of preventable and reversible blindness and assist those who are blind or visually impaired.

​

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.
