The Lions Clubs
On June 7, 1917, the Lions Club held their first national meeting in Chicago.
Dr. William P. Woods of Evansville, Indiana created the first iteration of the Lions. He established the Royal Order of Lions on August 8, 1911, as a fraternal organization. After a few years, however, the group decided they wanted to focus more on service and Woods worked on establishing Lions Clubs around 1915.
The oldest continuously operating Lions Club was established on January 18, 1916, in Austin, Texas. That October, Dr. Woods and several others incorporated the International Association of Lions Clubs in Indiana. By June 1917, there were at least 27 clubs in nine or more states.
