Who We Are
Lions serve. It’s that simple, and it has been since we first began in 1917.
Our clubs are places where individuals come together to give their valuable
time and effort to improving their communities, and the world.
Lions are part of a distinguished
service history dedicated to serving the blind and the vision impaired.
At a 1925 convention Helen Keller challenged the Lions to become her
“Knights for the Blind”, as crusaders against blindness. By conducting vision screenings to detect eye problems and providing glasses, Lions serve to help change the future for many people.
What We Do
The Lions Club helps bring Duxbury together. We work closely with the town, police, schools, the Chamber of Commerce, churches, and nursing homes to plan together how Lions can help the residents in our area.

Lions Clubs International
A service membership organization of over 1.7 million members worldwide (as of June 2018), 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 and address the betterment of their communities and the world. Jones' group, the Business Circle of Chicago, agreed.
After contacting similar groups around the United States, an organizational meeting was held on June 7, 1917, in Chicago, Illinois, US. The Business Circle subsequently joined one of the invited groups, the "International Association of Lions Clubs" and at a national convention held in Dallas, Texas, later that year, those who were assembled: adopted a Constitution, By-Laws, Code of Ethics and an Emblem; established as a main tenet "unselfish service to others", unanimously elected Dr. William Perry Woods as its first President effectively securing his leadership for the first two years of the existence of the International Association of Lions, and selected Melvin Jones to serve as the Organization's Secretary-Treasurer.
The Lions motto is "We Serve." Local Lions Club programs include sight conservation, hearing and speech conservation, diabetes awareness, youth outreach, international relations, environmental issues, and many other programs. The discussion of politics and religion is forbidden. The LIONS acronym also stands for Liberty, Intelligence, Our Nations' Safety.
