The Camrose Sw is doing great things CLUB HISTORY We were chartered in May of 2009, carrying on the traditions of the original Lions Club. It has always concentrated on programs for young people, for the disabled, for the elderly and for those less fortunate. Our twenty-four member club is an eager bunch. We range in age from 24 to late 80s! We are also diverse. Each of us brings something special in terms of ideas, energy and background.
We all “put the pedal to the metal” and take pride in our ability to GIVE! We have fun in our quest to make the community a better place to live, work and play. Our International focus is to eradicate preventable blindness throughout the world, thereby, we are known as the Knights of the Blind after a challenge put out by Helen Keller in 1925. We are a Member of the International Association of Lions Clubs inaugurated in Chicago Ill., in 1917. We represent 1.3 million members, in 44,920 clubs in 201 countries and geographical regions of the world. We are the youngest and largest service organization worldwide and collectively the Humanitarian impact worldwide is too great to comprehend.
