Who Are Lions?
Lions are men and women who volunteer their time in an effort to serve their community and to provide a better quality of life for those in need.
​
Since the Lions began in 1917, they have been united in this single cause of helping those less fortunate in their communities, in their province, and around the world!
​
Lions International is the largest major social service organization in the world. There are over 1.35 million Lions in over 200 countries and geographical areas world wide.
​
In Nova Scotia there are over 1600 Lions in 69 Lions Clubs.
​
The Annapolis Royal Lions Club has 20 members and is growing!
​
We are looking for community and service minded men and women who would like to help make a difference for individuals who are less fortunate than ourselves.
