District 39 E is located in rural East Idaho that is made up of clubs from the cities and many small farming and ranching communities. We serve areas from the scenic Yellowstone and Teton National Parks, through steep mountains, valleys and rivers that Lewis and Clark traveled and across the Snake River Plains and mountains along the old Oregon and California trails. Lions Club International was founded by Melvin Jones in Chicago, Illinois on June 7, 1917. At their convention in 1925, Helen Keller charged the Lions Club the following: "Will you not constitute yourselves Knights of the Blind in this crusade against darkness?" Since then, the Lions Club has taken Sight Conservation as one of its main goals. In addition, the motto of the Lions Club is "We Serve". From this motto, Lions Clubs serve their communities in many different functions from community service projects, fund raisers, sight and hearing conservation and screenings, and many more activities. We are looking for any person willing to serve their communities in a variety of functions. Are you interested in becoming a member?
