This is a book about stories from the heart. The designation "from the heart" was carefully chosen because it identifies a place of origin. Using stories from the heart--to relay how service to those in need transforms lives and creates a greater appreciation for the role that helping others can have on an individual's sense of purpose--was the right choice for a book about Lions Clubs International and its impact on the world over the past one hundred years. Through the stories and comments included in this book, readers gain a better understanding of what service to others has meant to those who have chosen to heed the call to give of themselves in order to make life better for those in need.
