IT'S GREAT TO BE A LION
The service of Lions reaches around the planet. Serving in over 210 countries and geographic areas, our 50,369 clubs and 1.4 million members are helping others and making communities better.
Lions Geographic Constutional Area 1 includes United States and Affiliates, Bermuda and Bahamas. The U.S. State of Wisconsin includes 10 Districts with governing bodies of a Council of Governors, 10 District Governors and Club Officers.

Lions Members Have A New Kind of Meeting Place
As the use of the Internet Web sites has become more and more prevalent among Lions, Lion Club International (LCI) is responding and has taken preliminary steps towards making online communication, business, and public relations easier for your Lions District & Club.
AND IT'S FREE.
It’s called the “e-District” & "e-Clubhouse"
It’s a place for members to meet and
access District & Club information.
It’s a place to plan service activities and
promote them to the community.
It’s a place for the average internet user to
communicate via many avenues.
It’s a place to chat, email and update
impending events.
It’s a place to post photos, access LCI tools
and information and so much more.
Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
