What does Lions mean?

Liberty, Intelligence, Our Nation's Safety:

“Liberty and Understanding are the safeguard of our nation.”

In 1954, our motto “We Serve” was created.

These two words alone embody our values.

The Lions Club is involved in:

• the humanitarian field (cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, sight, natural disasters, disability, etc.)
• the field of humanism (youth, culture, etc.)

In reference to Melvin Jones' statement:

“What if these men who have succeeded thanks to their dynamism, their intelligence and their ambition put their talents at the service of their community?”

Regarding our movement, I cannot forget the two foundations of our movement which are:

• The Lions of France Foundation
• And our flagship LCIF

Our Périgord Renaissance club was founded in 2015.

For 9 years, we have been tirelessly serving those in need in the Périgueux area. We are about twenty members.
