Challenge to Change

Greetings and welcome to the Lions Clubs International’s District 27-E2 website.

I’m Rodney Rommel the 2007-2008 District Governor.

District 27-E2 is one of over 750 districts worldwide that comprise Lions Clubs International.  Our district is proud to be a member of the strongest community service organization in the world.  Lions Clubs International (LCI) has 1.3 million Lions members in 200 countries and geographical areas. Lions Clubs were started in 1917 by an Insurance Salesman named Melvin Jones in Chicago.  This year marks the 90^th anniversary of LCI.

Our Lions District consists of eight counties in the State of Wisconsin, USA.  The district territory stretches West to East from the St Croix River to the Black River and North to South from city of New Richmond Wisconsin to the village of Trempealeau on the Mississippi River.  Within this district are 51 Lions Clubs with approximately 2,000 Lions. Almost every small town, village and city in the district boasts of a Lions Club, many of which have been in existence for over 60 years.  Lions Club’s serve their communities by performing essential service projects and raising money that is donated to  community residents who are in need of eye glasses, sight improvement devices, hearing aids as well as other health needs to improve their quality of life.
