Lions Clubs International has experienced its fourth straight year of membership increase. While many volunteer organizations continue to see a decline in members, 2010-11 marks the first time in nearly 20 years that the world's largest service club organization has recorded four straight years of membership increase.
We chartered more than 1,600 new clubs, bringing our total number of clubs to more than 46,000,” said Wing-Kun Tam, the 2011-12 president of Lions Clubs International. “In the last four years, we have increased our membership by more than 50,000. With more members, Lions can provide more service to their communities and to those in need around the world.”…..
Our fastest growing demographic group is women.” In addition to recruiting more women, Lions clubs have been successful in reaching out to younger members and organizing clubs that encourage parents and children and other family members to volunteer together. …..
Lions have also organized many specialty clubs such as cyber clubs that meet online and get together only to do service projects, as well as other clubs that serve specific interests and needs of groups within communities. …..
Lions Clubs International has 1.35 million members in 206 countries and geographic areas. In addition to its efforts toward conquering blindness, the organization has made a strong commitment to community service and helping youth throughout the world.
