Our motto is We Serve.In 1925, Helen Keller challenged Lions to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness" during the association's international convention. Today, Lions are recognized worldwide for their service to the blind and visually impaired. Lions demonstrate their commitment to sight conservation through eyeglass recycling, sight partnerships, and countless other sight services. Internationally, the Lions International Eye Bank supports cornea transplants, sight conservation, and other work relating to helping the blind regain their sight or function better in the dark world.

In Didsbury, members of the Lions Club volunteer their time in service to their community. The Club owns and operates the Lions Shuttle Bus, offering taxi service for the elderly and handicapped. The Lions Soap Box Derby, held each year on the Father's Day weekend, is one of the most popular events in town for kids from 8 - 17.

After the Christmas holiday season is over, Didsbury residents recycle their trees with the help of the Lions Club who set up a chipping site. The service is free with a donation to the Mountain View Food Bank, and the bonus is that trees dropped off at the chipping site dramatically reduce the amount of waste going to the landfill.

Each year, members of the Didsbury Lions Club build a playhouse and raffle off tickets at the annual Trade Show and throughout the summer, with the draw being made in August during the Fair & Rodeo. Proceeds from the raffle go to support many worthwhile events and activities in the community, and those initiated by Lions Club International.

Club members also host the Lions Auction every spring, with proceeds going to community projects.
