LIONS CLUB OF KEDAH

No,102, Taman Perindustrian Kristal, 05150 Alor Setar, Kedah. Malaysia

Lions Clubs plan and participate in a wide variety of
service projects that meet the international goals of Lions Clubs
International as well as the needs of their local communities.
Examples include donations to hospice, or community campaigns
such as Message in a bottle, a United Kingdom and Ireland initiative
which places a plastic bottle with critical medical information inside
the refrigerators of vulnerable people.
Money is also raised for international
purposes. Some of this is donated in
reaction to events such as the 2004
Indian Ocean Earthquake and the 20103
Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) where Lions
and LCIF provided disaster relief locally
and from around the world, with
donations and commitments surpassing
US$1 million.

Lions Clubs International, a service

membership organization of over 1.4 million
members worldwide (as of April 2015), was
founded in Evansville, Indiana on 24 October 1916
by Dr. William Perry Woods and subsequently
evolved as an international service organization
under the guidance and supervision of its
Secretary, Melvin Jones.

In 1917, Melvin Jones, was a 38-year-old Chicago
business leader who told members of his local
business club they should reach beyond business
issues.
