"What if these men," Melvin Jones asked, "who are
successful because of their drive, intelligence and
ambition, were to put their talents to work improving
their communities?" Thus, at his invitation, delegates
from men's clubs met in Chicago to lay the groundwork
for such an organization and on June 7, 1917, Lions
Clubs International was born.
Melvin Jones, the man whose personal code,
"You can't get very far until you start doing
something for somebody else" – became a
guiding principle for public-spirited people the
world over
