Article IV, Section 3 of the State Constitution and By-Laws states: "A committee composed of the State Historian, Past State Historians, District Librarians, shall compile, edit, and publish the History of Lions in this state every ten years beginning in 1980 as the first date of publication and every tenth year thereafter ending in zero and shall be approved by the State Council before being published."

Without the wholehearted help of these dedicated Lions officially designated to perform this duty, and whose names are listed on the cover page, the actual work could not have been done.‘

Without the generous and sympathetic cooperation of the 1980-81 State Council listed on page iii this history would not have been produced.

Before 1975 under the supervision and with the help and cooperation of the members of the State Councils a considerable body of historic material was compiled and distributed to the Lions clubs, but never produced in permanent form. From that time until the 1980-81 group of District Governors, revived interest in the work, historical activity languished, and the material for authentic historical records was neglected, sometimes non-existent. With the approach of the crucial date for publication, however, the 1980-81 officials reversed that trend, and gave every encouragement and support to those officially responsible for the work. To them we acknowledge a total indebtedness and appreciation.
