Club History and Overview:

Lions Clubs International was begun in 1917 in Chicago by Melvin Jones.   He wanted to expand horizons beyond daily work activities for the betterment of local communities and the world at large.  By 1920, the Lions clubs had become international.  Today, 44,909 clubs in 186 countries have nearly 1.5 million members.

Eyesight became a prime national Lions Club mission after a challenge from the unsighted, deaf celebrity, Helen Keller, for Lions to be the "Knights of Sight."   Lions aid Leader Dog programs, recycle eyeglasses, and provide free eye care to needy children everywhere.

Lions commit their resources and energy to serving.  The Brown County Lions Club was organized February 5, 1943, with 20 prospective members.  Today In Brown County, Indiana, 119 members dedicate their time, energy, and enthusiasm to the service of the community.
