2017100 Years of Service of Lions Club International - Set

LIONS is a secular, non-political service movement with a humanist orientation in its activities. It was created by a group of businessmen in Chicago, United States, in 1917. Its principal founder was Melvin Jones, who perhaps did not anticipate such widespread and rapid acceptance within communities, despite believing in the possibility of altruistically doing good for others and bringing people closer together through the faith he held in peace between the populations of the world. Within a few years, Lions began an irreversible worldwide expansion that continues today and makes this organisation a world leader in humanitarian service.
