Lions Clubs Around the World have very special service
projects that all members participate in:
Lions are recognized worldwide for their service to the blind and visually impaired. This
service began when Helen Keller challenged the Lions to become her "knights of the blind in
the crusade against darkness" during the association's 1925 international convention.

Today, in addition to their international SightFirst program, San Lorenzo Valley Lions Club members
are active in the Lions White Cane Days and the Recycle Glasses program.
Lions International Youth Exchange Program. The Lions Youth Exchange Program fulfills
the First Object of the Lions:
To create and foster a spirit of understanding among the peoples of the world.
The Lions Youth Exchange Program is not intended for tourism or academic studies. During
the four to six-week exchange, program participants reside with two or three Lion-approved
host families. Through this home stay opportunity, young people learn about life in
another culture.
Besides the above, San Lorenzo Valley Lions Club is in the process of
looking at other ways we can "serve." Come to a meeting to share your ideas!
