INTERNATIONAL
LIONS:
> We are one club within the largest Service
Association in the world.
> A world-wide voluntary organisation
with over 46,000 clubs in 197 countries, involving more than 1.3 million
people; of whom nearly 25% are female members.
> The Association
is truly international, with no political or religious connections;
whereas each individual Lions Club gives priority to the needs of its
local community.
> Occasionally, because we are an international
organisation, Lions are able to provide urgent assistance during times
of disaster; e.g. the 2004 Tsunami and the earthquake in Turkey. This is
funded through the Lions International Foundation, a trust fund
established by regular contributions from Lions Clubs throughout the
world.
BOURNE LIONS AIM TO:
> We aim to serve the needs of the community in any
way we can, and to the best of our ability; to the degree that our free
time and funds will allow.
> We receive requests of differing
needs, and occasionally it takes time to source the right answer or
person for the job. We do contact other organisations if they are better
placed to assist.
