WE SERVE. That's the Lions motto. It's more than mere words, though...it's truly what we do. Though we support various secondary causes and provide humanitarian aid around the world in other ways, as Lions our main focus is helping the blind and sight-impaired.
The following organizations receive annual funding from the Conway Noon Lions Club as we serve others in our community, state, and around the world:

Since that time, more than 8,000 persons form 50 States and 56 other nations have been served. LWSB has become a rehabilitation center unique in the world and international in scope.
