Membership is open to men and women of legal majority and good
                  reputation in the community, and is by invitation only. Clubs meet at least
                  twice a month and elect officers annually. The association is governed by
                  an international board of directors. Each year, more than 20,000 Lions
                  attend their international convention to discuss new ideas, share
                  experiences and reaffirm friendship and fellowship.

                  Those interested in membership should contact the local Lions Club. If
                  unable to locate a Lions club, e-mail a request to Noel Scherp who will
                  forward your information to your local Club.

                  Lots of interesting information on being involved as a member of this organization
                  can be found at the  Lions International membership web page
