Leo clubs are for young people aged 16.
Lions clubs members give their time, skills, and resources to raise funds for charitable giving.
The major focus is sight conservation. Lions took up sight conservation after a speech by Helen Keller given at a Lions Convention. SightFirst has funded the training of 1,150 ophthalmic assistants, nurses, and public eye health workers in developing countries. Very quickly, Lion Slater secured the twenty-four names and the organization was completed. Dr. Miller was elected the first president, E. Stanley Barclay, secretary, and Leslie W. Perrine, treasurer.
