THEME: "Sharing the Vision Together"


Welcome to the home of the District 31L Lions Clubs in western North Carolina. We are glad you have taken the time to visit us here.

 

“It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision..”   - Helen Keller

 

The coming year one of the goals is to focus on the Five Global Causes:  Childhood Cancer; Diabetes; Hunger; Environment and Vision.  I am challenging each Club to have at least one service project and/or fundraiser for each of the causes.

Being a Lion has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life.  I am fortunate to be able to serve and have met so many wonderful Lions that have become friends and my Lion family.  It is an experience that I wish so many more could share.  Every Lion knows that feeling, and we would love for you to share our vision together.
