Practice Volunteerism And Virtues When Joining 19 Lions

By Virginia Cook


Social clubs and like organizations are numerous and have varied programs that always provide some good companionship and have systems of providing services to those in need. Many are international in scope and will have chapters in major cities in the US and around the world. Most are great organizations that have standards for the quality of life of the people who belong to it and those that they serve.

Lions Clubs International is one such organization and it is well recognized and respected wherever individuals and chapters are. Multiple Districts 19 Lions is the relevant district for the states and provinces of Washington, Idaho and British Columbia. This is the type of district that covers several states and have more chapters than the average district.

The district is also made up of regional HQs for better services delivery and action program coordination. It is quite accessible and open to all through its online sites and the chapter and region headquarters. Membership is, again, open to anyone who shares the same interests as the group, as advertised in brand descriptions, slogans and announcements.

Volunteerism is the primary and beginning requirement to join the brotherhood. It is in this spirit that brothers, individually and as a group, provide answers to issues that have and will challenge communities around the world. And their actions have only one true justification with their motto, We Serve.

The organization was founded on June 7, 1917 in the city of Chicago. It has maintained its primary mission of through its existence in a way that encapsulates the organizational symbol. It grew into many chapters in a very short time, due to its progressive vision and populist strategy, and the club has kept on growing through time.

The relevant word this group is LIONS, which is also an acronym for how they practice the mission. They are a set of values that form the foundation of active democracy in countries where members are working to strengthen the freedom of individuals. The values are Liberty, Intelligence and Our Nations Safety.

All good men and women of good repute and who are of legal age are invited to join the organization. There is a set of guidelines that enables members to screen for the right kind of people who will provide great service to others through club programs and systems. Again, going to the local chapter office for announcements is best practice here.

There are flags and banners used by the group to represent all the virtues it stands for. Purple is meant to symbolize integrity and loyalty, gold symbolizes the virtues of liberality, purity, sincerity and generosity. The relevant colors are often used in sashes, uniforms and other official signage used during missions and socials.

Goals that are basic to the Lions International programs are connected to the preservation of hearing and eyesight for those who are afflicted with these problems. Many more goals can be put up whenever and wherever needed, and these are decided on by members in connection to national issues. Lions often work with local governments or groups with the same ideals for a team effort in delivering great and intensive help for people.
