Since 1917, Lions clubs have offered people the opportunity to give something back to their communities. We, as members of the newest Lions club in Georgia, offer the same opportunity for our community, the Kennesaw-Acworth region. We take great pride in our community and we embrace the idea of building a brighter future. Our primary mission is, and has always been, bringing sight to the world's blind. We accomplish this on a regional level by participating in community events and fund raisers. This allows us to provide additional support for our Lighthouse Project. We also provide support to the Georgia Camp for the Blind - a place where the blind or seeing-impaired can learn to live independantly. As we grow, we will also continue to participate in fund raising events to help the ever increasing needs of our regional community. Though we will continue to add programs as new needs arise, our mission will never waver: "We Serve" Other NEWS:   We are proud to announce that our own Darren Duff was recently featured on CNN about "Dialog in the Dark".  You can view the video clip here:  http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2009/01/02/long.dialog.dark.cnn?iref=vid.
