​19G Lions​​​

Lions - The World's Largest Service Club Organization

Our 46,000 clubs and 1.4+ million members make us the world's largest service club organization. We're also one of the most effective. Our members do whatever is needed to help their local communities. Everywhere we work, we make friends; with children who need eyeglasses, with seniors who don’t have enough to eat and with people we may never meet.

Clubs in District 19-G are in western Washington State from Clearwater-Kalaloch, then south along the coast, then east, covering southwest Washington as far east as Lyle, Washington.

District Governor Mark Mansell
2018-2019

Lion Mark describes himself as an Everyday Lion who enjoys serving and helping others.  Mark loves being a Lion because as he often says… “If you can dream a way to turn your passion into service, you can do it in Lions.” 
 
Through his fifteen years of service as a Lion, he has had an amazing number of opportunities to work on and start some very unique Lions service projects.  For example, he has ridden a bicycle solo across America in 47 days as well as rode his motorcycle through all 48 lower contiguous states in 24 days as national fundraisers for Leader Dogs for the Blind.  Another unique project he started is our Flags for First Graders program that has provided nearly 35,000 flags sets to 1st graders throughout SW Washington over the past five years.  He also started and chairs our annual Lions Learning Forum. 
 
Lion Mark has served in multiple club officer positions as well as many different District and Multiple District leadership positions.  He has been recognized for his leadership by receiving many awards including the International President’s Leadership Medal and the International President’s Recognition Medal (the second and third highest honor in Lions).  He is also a Progressive Melvin Jones Fellow and has been married to his partner in service, Lion Debbie, for 39 years.
