Welcome to Lions International District 11A-1! We are one of the top five growing Districts in the United States. Through our Lions membership we are able to help our local communities with various tailored projects as well as District and State projects such as Leader Dog, the Lions of Michigan Hearing Center, the Michigan Eye Bank, Penrickton Center for Blind Children, Beaumont Silent Children's Fund, Greater Detroit Agency for the Blind, DRIS, Bear Lake Camp, and the Madonna University Hearing Program.

Don't forget to learn more about our Lions of Michigan Service Foundation who helps so many throughout the State of Michigan. Are you in need of assistance from the Lions or perhaps you are looking to join your local Lions Club or even just want to volunteer, our new and improved web site holds all sorts of information to help you find what you are looking for including club information and a calendar of events, meeting times, and all the who's who within the clubs and district.

We Serve.
