Welcome to www.thelions.info webhome of Southport Lions Club...
Our website has a new address! It's really easy to remember, and hopefully it's very logical. How do people think of us? We're the Lions. What do they want to know? Information. Put the two together, and we have www.thelions.info
Here you will find information about Past and Future Southport Lions Events; click the Our Events button. Details about Chemocare, Tsunami, and our charitable activities and projects can be found at Our Works. And there is a new Feedback form for you to tell us how we're doing!
Whatever you want to see, read on....
We've had a busy year so far, what with the Christmas Lights Switch On, the Barn Dance, the Southport Carnival, the Summer Classics, the Flower Show and our Charity Auction. Whew! Click HERE to catch up on our Past Events and click HERE to go to Club News and read all about the Smorgistes for 2008.
For information and news for members of Southport Lions Club only, click on the Lions Logo to go to our Private Pages. Don't forget to have your username and password ready to hand!

Southport Lions Club is one small part of the worldwide family of Lions Clubs International, which is made up of nearly one and a half million members, in more than 45,000 communities, in 193 countries and territories. Yet many people have never heard of Lions.
Who are we, what do we do, and why do we do it?
__________________________________________________________________________
The very first Lion was Melvin Jones who, in Chicago in 1917, decided that it would be a Good Thing to club together with a few like-minded friends to try to improve the lot of mankind. A daunting task, perhaps, but within a few years hundreds, and then thousands, of others had joined in. By 1950, Lions Clubs had crossed the Atlantic, and taken root in the UK. In the past fifty years, more than 900 other Clubs have joined the Lions Club of London (Host) to recruit more than 40,000 Lions throughout the British Isles.

Who are the Lions? We like to think of ourselves as ordinary people who do (or try to do) amazing things.
We are men and women who volunteer our time to try to make life better for others. We have no religious, political or social affiliation. The only qualifications for membership are a willingness to do whatever we can, and a desire to live up to the Lions motto "We Serve." Why do we do it? There are probably as many answers to that question as there are Lions. And if you have read this far, you almost certainly know the answer already.

So, why not take a tour round our site, look at what we are doing, and maybe, just maybe, you might think of ways in which you could help? Go on!
