The Freedom District Lions are part of Lions Clubs International, the largest service organization in the world with over 1.3 million members in more than 46,000 clubs in over 200 countries.  To support and encourage volunteer service among the young people in our community, each school year the FDLC will recognize the top three (3) eighth graders from Oklahoma Middle School and Sykesville Middle School as well as the top three (3) seniors from Century High School and Liberty High School who have earned the highest cumulative volunteer service hours as of March that year as confirmed by their school.   The twelve (12) selected awardees and their parents/guardians are invited as our guests to receive this recognition at a club dinner meeting in May when we celebrate Lions Education Night.
