In 1917, Melvin Jones and a group of businessmen in Chicago, Illinois put their talents to work improving their communities. Lions International grew rapidly throughout the country and in 1925, Helen Keller gave a speech at the Lions Clubs International Convention and challenged Lions to be “…knights of the blind.” The Lions motto is “We Serve.”
Dedicated to improving the lives of our neighbors, the Panorama Lions Club has been a cornerstone of the Panorama Village community since 1971. We’re committed to serving those in need by raising funds and volunteering our time for worthwhile causes. From its early beginnings, the club heeded the call of Helen Keller. With that inspiration, the clubs’ major service project is an extensive Sight Program, which provides eye exams & eyeglasses for needy school-aged children in the area.
The club also supports other Sight Conservation efforts through the Leader Dog Program, the Lighthouse for the Blind, Lions Eye Bank of Texas and the World Services for the Blind. A very active Sight Awareness Committee conducts community projects such as used eyeglass collections and eye exams for area elementary school children.
