The Lions Club has 1.3 million members across more than 45 thousand clubs worldwide. A secular organisation, its mission is to “empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs”.

The latest club being proposed will be located in Second Life, with official endorsement by the Lions organisation. Two information meetings are being held on the 5th August at 9am and 6pm Second Life time (2am and 11am on the 6th August AEST), at the current Lions Club presence in-world. If you’re after more information, contact Simba Jaggernov or Piratelionecu Humphreys in-world.

I don’t think I’m alone in my admiration for the work Lions do in local communities and it’ll be fascinating to see what this club will be able to do.
