Long before the European settlers, the American Indians put aside their tribal differences and war paint in West Virginia. This area was neutral hunting lands; not many lived here, but all could hunt in peace to provide winter food and warmth for their families. Tillable level land was scarce, and once the early settlers began moving in, the established helped the newcomer clear the land and build their homes. Small towns grew next to rivers and became cities of close-knit neighborhoods. If you lived in the mountains, neighbor needed neighbor to survive rough winters, Indian attacks and lack of supply lines. Our lifestyle is laid back, family first. We have the 3rd highest home ownership and the 4th lowest crime rates. We know, help and protect our neighbors. While many of us work in high-tech industries, the old-fashioned desire to share with those who need is second-nature. West Virginia joined Lions International in 1922. Two native sons have been International President: Edwin R. Kingsley in 1936 and Dudley L. Sims in 1958. We can boast of 10 International Directors. Larry Johnson is currently serving a two-year term, and 3 Past International Directors are still very active serving West Virginia Lionism: PIDs Scott Neely (2002-2004), Robert Browning, Jr (1996-1998) and Fred D. Cole (1990-1992). |

A note about our website format The same mountains which provide beautiful vistas, Spring waterfalls and striking Fall colors also prevent a lot of our residents from enjoying today's high speed internet connections. This site has been designed for faster loading via phone line service with no moving banners, roaring Lions, and, unfortunately, few photos of MD29's wonderful programs and dedicated Lions. |
