LeClaire Lions Club Service Scholarship

The LeClaire Lions Club was chartered in 1974. Lions Clubs are recognized worldwide for service to people. Today, Lions extend their commitment to sight and hearing conservation and to youth programs throughout the world. LeClaire Lions Club cooperates with the University of Iowa Eye Bank and with cochlear implants to hearing impaired.

Founded in 1917, the association’s motto is “We Serve.” Known primarily for supporting programs to fight the major causes of preventable and reversible blindness, the Lions Clubs are groups of service-minded men and women who are interested in improving their communities. Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest service club organization with 1.3 million members in 45,000 clubs in 205 countries and geographic areas. Lions are men and women who volunteer their time to humanitarian causes. Because Lions Clubs are local, each individual club has an opportunity to serve the unique needs of their communities. And because Lions Clubs are global, Lions Clubs International can address challenges that go beyond borders.
