The Leavenworth Lions Club has met the needs of our local community and the
world since 1951.
An international network of over 1.3 million men and women in 205 countries
and geographic areas, Lions work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world. Known for
working to end preventable blindness, Lions participate in a vast variety of projects important to their communities.
These projects range from cleaning up local parks to providing supplies to victims of natural disasters.
Beginning
in 1917, the association of Lions clubs has provided millions of people with the opportunity to give something back to their
communities.
In 1925, Helen Keller challenged the Lions to become "Knights of the Blind".
Since that day, Lions clubs throughout the world have been involved in helping the visually and hearing impaired. Glasses,
white canes, helper dogs, eye surgeries, hearing aids and ear surgeries are constantly being donated to those in need.
