Bill > SCR98

This concurrent resolution recognizes the significant contributions of Lions Clubs International, a global service organization with over 1.4 million members in more than 200 countries, by officially designating June 12, 2025, as "Delaware Lions Clubs Day" in the state. The resolution highlights the organization's longstanding commitment to community service, particularly its efforts in fighting blindness, supporting vision screenings, and providing medical equipment. Lions Clubs are noted for their diverse community projects, including environmental stewardship, hunger relief, youth programs, and assistance for seniors and individuals with disabilities. The resolution emphasizes the Lions Clubs International Foundation's substantial impact, having provided over $46 million in grants in fiscal year 2023-2024 and being recognized as a top non-governmental organization. In Delaware specifically, the Lions Clubs have been active since 1922, with 35 clubs and over 1,230 members who have contributed more than $590,000 to local communities through the Delaware Lions Foundation. The resolution acknowledges the organization's self-funded, volunteer-driven approach and their enduring motto: "We Serve."
