The Lions Club of Dorchester received it's Charter in 1970, and has continued to provided a service to the local community since that date.

Quote from the International President Jimmy Ross -"As Lions we need to first take care of our own community, where our member's live.  This is my basic philosophy of our commitment as Lions.  If we do this, we will encourage other community-minded citizens to join our Clubs, and 
upon meeting local needs, we can expand our outreach 
on a global humanitarian basis"

We are an asssociate member of the Lion Clubs International, which is the worlds largest and most active service organisation in the world, with a total membership nearing 1.4 million in 191 countries
and geographical areas.
