Celebrate the birth of the association's founder, Melvin Jones. Born on January 13, 1879 in Fort Thomas, Arizona, Melvin Jones was the son of a United States Army captain who commanded a troop of scouts. Later, his father was transferred and the family moved east. As a young man, Melvin Jones made his home in Chicago, ...Illinois, became associated with an insurance firm and in 1913 formed his own agency.
He soon joined the Business Circle, a businessmen's luncheon group, and was shortly elected secretary. This group was one of many at that time devoted solely to promoting the financial interests of their membership. Because of their limited appeal, they were destined to disappear. Melvin Jones, however, had other plans.
"What if these men," he asked, "who are successful because of their drive, intelligence and ambition, were to put their talents to work improving their communities?" Thus, at his invitation, delegates from men's clubs met in Chicago to lay the groundwork for such an organization and on June 7, 1917, Lions Clubs International was born.
Melvin Jones eventually abandoned his insurance agency to devote himself full time to Lions at International Headquarters in Chicago. It was under his dynamic leadership that Lions clubs earned the prestige necessary to attract civic-minded members.
The association's founder was also recognized as a leader by those outside the association. One of his greatest honors was in 1945 when he represented Lions Clubs International as a consultant in San Francisco, California, at the organization of the United Nations.
Melvin Jones, the man whose personal code – "You can't get very far until you start doing something for somebody else" – became a guiding principle for public-spirited people the world over, died June 1, 1961 at 82 years of age.

LCIF Week, which coincides with the birthdate of our association's founder, Melvin Jones, on January 13, Lions clubs can plan special programs to highlight the achievements of LCIF and consider its potential for enabling Lions worldwide to organize and implement service programs that are beyond their personal financial... capacity.
LCIF is Lions helping Lions serve others. Through LCIF, Lions ease pain and suffering and bring healing and hope to people worldwide.
Contributions to LCIF are a great way to make a difference in people's lives. Every dollar donated to LCIF goes toward a grant. (The foundation's administrative costs are paid for by interest on investments.) Every donation helps someone lead a healthier or more productive life.
Through grants, LCIF and Lions are able to serve even more people in need around the world.
The support of Lions is crucial to LCIF. Donations from Lions provide most of the revenue received by LCIF. One hundred percent of every dollar donated to the Foundation goes directly to a project. Since LCIF was funded in 1968, it has awarded more than 9,550 grants, totaling more than US$680 million.

Lions have gained worldwide recognition for our work to improve sight. But we are not "in sight" of the general public. That’s why International President Eberhard J. Wirfs is asking every club, district and multiple district to organize a major public relations activity during the last two weeks of January 2010.
