Your Place To Shine
Dear Lions,
We each bring something unique to our service. And when our skills, passions and experiences come together, something extraordinary happens. Our clubs don’t just give us opportunities to serve — they help bring out the very best in us. They’re places where we can grow, connect and truly make a difference. In this issue, you’ll see that spirit come to life in the member stories we share.
Being a Lion is about belonging. It’s about finding a community where who you are matters and where every contribution — big or small — makes an impact. Through our MISSION 1.5 efforts, we’re inviting more people to discover what it means to be part of something bigger. Every new Lion is a light that beckons to those in need and a welcomed member of our global family. Each one brings new friendships, fresh perspectives and even more reasons to keep serving.
Our Weeks of Service initiative is a prime opportunity to shine in communities around the world. This year’s final dedicated week of service, focused on the environment, will take place April 18-26. Now is the perfect time to start planning your projects and inviting prospective Lions to join you in serving and celebrating the world we share.
Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey. Keep bringing your best. Keep lifting others. And keep shining.
Together we serve,
A.P. Singh
International President, Lions Clubs International

Dear Fellow Lions,
Some forms of service are visible. Others begin quietly—with awareness, with intent, with a choice made in private.
In this issue, we turn our attention to one such act. Organ donation may begin with a single decision, but its impact reaches far beyond it —shaped less by numbers, and more by readiness: the ability to respond with clarity when it matters most.
For The Record
As of February 1, 2026 Lions International had 13,69,629 members in 49,795 clubs in 200+ countries and geographical locations.

Dear Lions,
It is with great pride and purpose that I join you as the new editor of the Lion (India) magazine. This year is not just another chapter in our journey—it is a landmark moment. One of our own, Lion A.P. Singh has taken the helm as International President of Lions Clubs International. His vision, built on innovation and new initiatives, sets the stage for an inspiring year ahead.
Managing Director
Dear Lions,
I feel truly privileged to reach out to you through our magazine, especially at this historic time when a fellow Indian is leading Lions Clubs International. I am sure the pride I experienced watching Lion A. P. Singh take oath as International President at the Orange County Convention Centre in Orlando, Florida, was shared by every Indian Lion present at the ceremony – and by Lions across our country.
