You should know...
Lions are more than 1.4 million strong...men and women...young and old. You will find us in more than 180 countries and geographical areas from the hinterlands of Australia and Brazil to thriving urban centers like New York and Milan. We speak dozens of languages and vary in nature and customs.
We share a common spirit. Since our beginning in 1917, we have been united in a single cause. helping those less fortunate. We are tackling the tough problems like blindness and drug abuse as well as diabetes awareness - and finding help and training for the deaf disabled, underprivileged and the elderly. In fact whatever the community needs to make life better, were here to help.
We are the youngest major social service organization, yet we have grown to be the world's largest. We are succeeding because we embrace all those committed to building a brighter future for the world and themselves. And, with a new generation of enlightened members, Lions clubs are working smarter and faster with greater commitment than ever before.
We are the Lions and we serve.
The Seal Beach Host Lions Club is a member of Lions District 4-L4. Lions Multiple District 4 and Lions Clubs International. We were chartered in 1939 and have since sponsored two additional Lions Clubs and a Leo Club. We are also the largest service club in Seal Beach with over 90 Lions and 40 Leo members.
Our club includes persons from such diverse backgrounds as businessmen, professionals, contractors, educators, white-collar, blue-collar and no-collar. Most important, they are persons committed to serving their community. Distinctly different individuals with a common goal - to help those less fortunate than we.
