Lions Club Konankunte, District 317A
We Serve.
Two words have been the promise of the Lions movement since 1954, and they are still the whole idea. Lions Club Konankunte is a group of people here who decided that the needs around us are ours to answer.

Why the club exists
People who live and work here.
We are a Lions club based in Konankunte, south Bengaluru, part of Lions District 317A. Our members are people who live and work here, teachers, business owners, doctors, retired professionals, homemakers. What we have in common is not background but willingness.
We run eye screening camps. We organise blood donation drives. We put school supplies in the hands of children who need them. We plant trees and clean up what needs cleaning. None of it is dramatic. All of it adds up.

Get involved
The way into Lions Club Konankunte is a camp, not a form.
Most of our members came to one project first, saw what it was, and stayed. Come to one; there is no obligation beyond the day. The club meets on the 3rd Saturday of every month, and visitors are welcome.
