Why Become An Orange CT Lion?

When was the last time you did something for yourself?

Something that made you feel like you're making a difference? Becoming part of the Orange CT Lions Club not only helps those in need, but also gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment that comes from deep within.

Whenever a Orange Lions Club gets together, problems get smaller and communities get better. Orange Lions members are men & women who strive to make a difference in their local community as well as communities worldwide. When the challenge arises, our answer is simple: “We Serve”. Since our founding in 1917, we have grown to be the largest in the world, with more than 1.3 million members worldwide. Why? Because volunteerism is at the heart of our efforts. We help where help is needed -- in our communities and around the world -- with unmatched integrity and energy. We help provide funds and resources for many organizations and individuals. We believe that together, we can make the world a better place.

Will joining the Orange CT Lions take time away from my family?

On the contrary, being a Lion will enrich your family life! Maybe your spouse would like to join the club with you. We have many couples as members. When you volunteer you are setting a positive example for your children by teaching them how contributing your time and effort can better your community. As a Lion, you contribute the time you have available. Time commitments can range from two or three hours a month to being part of every club function and event. It is completely up to you.

What are the benefits of being an Orange CT Lion?

You will find that being a Lion will give you the ability to grow personally and professionally by participating in our community service projects and events. You will develop relationships with your local community and business leaders, and you will have access to membership discounts and services. But most importantly you will have fun in the process and make new friends along the way.

When it comes to meeting challenges, our response is simple: We serve. In 206 countries, in hospitals and senior centers, in regions battered by natural disaster, in schools and eyeglass recycling centers, Lions are doing community volunteer work, helping, leading, planning and supporting. Because we're local, we can serve the unique needs of the communities we live in. And because we're global, we can address challenges that go beyond borders.

We want everyone to see a better tomorrow. That's why we support sight programs and services including vision screenings, eye banks and eyeglass recycling. Provide eye care services to those at risk of losing their sight. And raise donations through campaigns like SightFirst and Campaign SightFirst II.

We believe everyone deserves a healthy life. From providing health programs that focus on hearing loss to supporting efforts to control and prevent diabetes, we're working to improve the health of children and adults around the world.

We empower the next generation. Whether it's providing youth volunteer opportunities and leadership experiences in a Leo club or sharing a message of peace through our Peace Poster contest, our youth programs invest in the future by reaching out to young people.

The Lions Club serves our community – and helps to protect the planet. From performing hands-on service projects to providing emergency assistance, our community and environment programs improve our communities – and protect the environment
