The Beginning
The Lions Clubs trace their beginnings to one man, Melvin Jones, who in 1917 with the leaders of 23 independent service clubs in Chicago, formed an association known as the Lions Clubs. Three years later, in 1920, a Lions Club in downtown Detroit sponsored a Lions Club in Windsor, Canada, thereby creating the International Association of Lions Clubs.
