Whether helping the blind or deaf, conducting drug or diabetes awareness campaigns, providing recreational opportunities for the handicapped, sponsoring research into the causes and treatment of blindness, providing children with sports equipment or just a place to play, or raising funds to make it all possible, service to the needy and the disadvantages comes first for a Lion. FELLOWSHIP At the very heart of Lionism lies a camaraderie, among both the local club members and between Lions from every part of the world. It exists not only at club meetings but particularly when Lions are working together to help those in need in their communities. The friendships made in Lionism lasts a lifetime because they are based on a common and enjoyable commitment to service. WHERE WE MEET Brussels Heraldic meets twice a month.
