The newest district position is the Lions Services for Children chairperson. More than 330 Lions Services for Children chairpersons have agreed to:

• encourage clubs to conduct community assessments of children's needs.
• support clubs' efforts to collaborate with other individuals and organizations concerned about children in adverse circumstances.

For details, log onto the Lions Web site. Click into "Youth Programs," then "Lions Services for Children Program."

Many Lions clubs also sponsor Scouts (Lions sponsor more Scout troops than any other non-religious organization) and the association upholds partnerships with other youth organizations.
