Lions are roaring loud
Lions have developed regional programs in areas such as India and China that are experiencing success in recruiting members. Membership in China has increased by nearly 25 per cent in the last year. Lions are the first and only service club allowed by the government of The People’s Republic of China to charter clubs and operate in China. Membership is also increasing rapidly in countries such as India, where 70 per cent of the population is younger than 40. 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.
Closer to home Rye and District Lions organise Rye’s big annual Raft Race, attend village fetes and make many donations to local causes and charities.
