Dear Lions,

As an organization that serves — and represents — the world, we have a place for everyone with a heart for service. Each member brings unique strengths, experiences and perspectives that help us deepen our service and broaden our reach. When we welcome and include everyone in our clubs, we become even more powerful agents of hope and change.

Through MISSION 1.5, Lions everywhere are inviting others to join our clubs. Each invitation not only shares the joy of being a Lion but also strengthens our clubs through greater service capacity and diversity. Opening our doors wider opens new possibilities. And with more people ready to serve, we can take on even greater challenges.

As part of our Weeks of Service initiative, we have two more incredible opportunities to come together as one global family — focusing on hunger January 3-11, 2026, and the environment April 18-26, 2026. These weeks are a great time to try something new: a project that reaches new people, a partnership with another community group or a creative solution to an ongoing challenge. When we innovate our service, we not only expand our impact — we strengthen the bonds that unite us as Lions.

Let’s continue to grow, to welcome and to serve — together. Because when we do, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.

Together we serve,

A.P. Singh
International President, Lions Clubs International
