| Lions' service activities are essentially decided and carried out
by the clubs themselves. Clubs focus their work according to the needs
of their communities. They co-operate closely with the authorities
and other service organisations to maximise their impact. Many clubs
carry out programmes or respond to disaster relief, to help the needy
or those in distress in other countries. They may join up with Lions
or other service organisations in these countries or act in concert
with international aid efforts. Lions clubs' activities fall into
two categories, namely Fund-Raising projects and Service activities.
