The organisation Melvin Jones, a Chicago
business leader set up in his home city would a
century later have grown into the universally
respected Lions Clubs International, with 46,000
clubs. Jones posed the question – what if people
put their talents to work improving their own
communities? Today there are 1.35 million of
them doing just that. Lions has become the largest
community service organisation in the world,
with direct links to the United Nations who rely
on the global reach and fund raising expertise of
Lions to help when national disasters strike
anywhere in the world.

Hereford Lions Club, founded in 1960 might
be just a small cog in a huge wheel, but as the
columns in Festive News well illustrate its
members have well and truly adopted the values
set by the 38 year old Jones. The challenge now
is to ensure that future generations take up the
baton and do their bit here in their own
community and on the bigger world stage when
aid is desperately needed.
Those men and women led the way down the
years and now today’s younger generation need
to take up the humanitarian cause both in their
own communities and overseas.
HEREFORD LIONS CLUB

Hereford Lions Club is seeking new members to help the
club fulfill its promise to serve the community.
Being part of the worldwide Lions International organisation offers the opportunity to broaden
your own horizons and experiences and to share these with like- minded people. The reward?
The satisfaction of knowing you have made a big contribution improving your own community
here in Hereford and those across the world in need of a helping hand.
Joining a group of volunteers and working alongside them on community projects and
fund-raising activities also offers new friendships and a lively social life. Reading the columns
of Lions Festive News will give you an insight into ‘Life with the Lions.’ There is lots to do –
and lots of fun doing it! If the idea of being a Lion appeals to you contact us now to find out
what Lions can do for you – but more importantly what you can do for your community.
