Pawleys Island SC Lions Club


History:

The Pawleys Island SC Lions Club was chartered in 1984, by the Georgetown, SC Lions Club, our corporate "parent". Today, we are a group of 35 men and women, committed to improving conditions in the community "WE SERVE".

Our association was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1917. Lions Clubs International has grown to be the world's largest service organization with more than 1.4 million members belonging to local clubs in most countries of the world. The headquarters of Lions Clubs International is in Oak Brook, Illinois. A board of directors governs the international association, which is elected annually at the International Convention.

In 1925, Helen Keller addressed the Lions at their International Convention, and challenged them to become "Knights of the Blind in the crusade against darkness." Since that time, service to the blind and visually impaired has become one of the association's most significant activities.
