A Brief History of Lionism Back in 1917, a Chicago insurance man saw a need-–and an opportunity. Melvin Jones was then a part of the Business Circle of Chicago, a group founded for the purpose of business and social networking. Jones proposed a plan to give the club an additional and more profound goal: to serve their community as a whole. Jones proposed that the Business Circle ally itself with other groups to form a national club. Among the groups invited was the Association of Lions Clubs. The Circle and several other clubs agreed to rally under the Lions name. Representatives from nine states and 22 clubs met in Dallas, and the roots of the modern day Lions Club formed. The Lions Club ethics and objectives have changed little from Jones’ early vision. Lions are encouraged to serve their community wholeheartedly, to put service ahead of profit, and to personally uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct within their professions. To say the club grew would be an understatement. Currently some 1.4 million men and women from 189 countries proudly wear the Lions lapel pin as they serve their communities. |
