The club went to the Batavia Art Department to have the students create a banner for the club to help celebrate the 100th birthday of Lions locally. Mayor Jeff Schielke had the four banners hung on Wilson Street in downtown Batavia during Convention Week in July.

At the top is the LCI Centennial Symbol, We Serve. At the bottom is 1974, the Batavia Lions Club Charter Year.
