Being a Lion is about leading by example, building relationships, and improving the world through kindness.  Lions, Lions Clubs International, are 1.4 million caring adults and youth serving together so they can make a lasting impact and change more lives.

       District 14-C is one of 17 Districts in the United States of America in the state of Pennsylvania that make up Multiple District 14 - Pennsylvania Lions Clubs. Our District, District 14-C, is comprised of Lions and Leo Clubs located throughout the counties of Adams, Cumberland and York within the state of Pennsylvania who make a difference every day in the lives of those who live within our communities by serving or supporting local food banks, fundraising for bigger causes, and living by our motto of We Serve.  The clubs of District 14-C are very involved and support larger needs internationally through Lions Clubs International Foundation by holding numerous fundraisers within our communities and donating the monies earned for catastrophic disaster and pandemic relief or support one or more of our general causes such as: 

       Furthermore, District 14-C along with all the clubs of Pennsylvania also come together to support the needs within Pennsylvania by supporting our Pennsylvania Lions Beacon Lodge CampPennsylvania Lions Care for KidsLions of Pennsylvania FoundationPennsylvania Lions Hearing Research Foundation, PA Lions Sight Conservation & Eye Research Foundation, and many more organization and foundations.  District 14-C along with all the Lions Clubs across both the United States and Canada are proud to support Leader Dog for the Blind which provides services free of charge services for clients with little to no vision so they can live a life of independence and mobility.

Distict 14-C Governor's Message

Dear Lions, Lioness/Lions and Leos

WE SERVE! — Lifting People Up
That Is My District theme for the 2024-2025 Club Year
 
The Lion looking to the left is our Foundation.  It is our legacy.  It is the Club Level.  We should be holding up Clubs:
  1. Officers
  2. Projects and Service Opportunities
  3. Volunteers
  4. New Members & Ideas
  5. Community Needs and Opportunities                                                                                             
The area of the Lions logo between the two Lions heads is the District Level.  We should be holding up the District:
  1. District officers and Committees
  2. Attendees from Clubs in the District
  3. District Projects
  4. Counties represented in the District
  5. Liaisons between Clubs, District and States                                                                   
Lion looking to the right is our Future.  It is the vision shared by State and International level being transferred down to all Lions:
  1. International President
  2. International Directors
  3. International Visions and Goals
  4. Regional Area Administrators
  5. State / Multi-District Administrators                                                                                            
In 2024-2025 Club year, let us be “Lifting People Up” in all these areas.  They are the shakers and movers who make Lions International the Number One service organization in the world.  Each Lion is a small tooth on the many cogs that make the entire structure function.  Every Lion is an important part of those mechanics.  Let’s show the world we are different.  Let the world see that we are Lifting People Up not only in service, but in relationships.  Let’s have a great year!!
