Celebrating 100 Years of Service

In 1917, a businessman named Melvin Jones from Chicago founded the Lions Clubs.  100 years later, Lions Club International is the world largest service organization with over 1.4 million members in 200 countries.  All of them have been united by one idea - We Serve.  Lets celebrate the 100 years of service together, and continue to serve together.
