Dear Lions,

At the heart of every successful Lions Club is the spirit of collaboration, innovation and a deep commitment to serving humanity. Our clubs thrive when we infuse fresh ideas, new energy and a strong sense of purpose into our work. And the impact of our service grows exponentially when we welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences to join us.

This unity in diversity is the very essence of Lions. When we serve together, we have a profound impact on the people we serve — and on the people who serve with us. The bonds we form through shared purpose and action are powerful, enriching our communities and our personal lives.

MISSION 1.5 exemplifies this collective strength. It's our rallying call to every Lion around the world to help grow our impact. Through this mission, we will expand our reach, strengthen our clubs and introduce more people to the joy of serving as a Lion.

This is our opportunity to be bold, to be welcoming and to make our mark. Let's continue to build on the foundation of service that has made Lions International a beacon of hope for so many. And let’s do it together.

At your service,

Fabrício Oliveira
International President, Lions Clubs International
