Every year here at We Belong we attend the Lions Club International Indiana Midwinter Conference, which is always a great time, but this year I will remember above the rest. A couple of months ago we had the pleasure of creating a custom lions pin for the local Leo's members of the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Mr. Lovati was a true gentlemen to work with and had the great idea of using braille as the only text for the Lions Club Pin design. In the end we produced an absolutely great design.
Fast forward two months to January 8th, 2011 to the Lions Club International Indiana Midwinter Conference and I had the pleasure of meeting not just Mr. Lovati, but also several students from the school. Each and every one of the students was proudly wearing their custom made lions pin and each came by our booth to express their gratitude for us having made them. They were thrilled they finally had their own custom lions pin just like the 'grown ups' that sponsor them. The lions club emblem turned out to be a great lions fundraising idea for them, and it was a pleasure to see all of their smiling faces as we met them.
I will always appreciate the thank you note they typed for me in braille as it is displayed proudly in my office.
I wanted to post a quick link regarding the custom lions club pin we seem to be asked about frequently here at We Belong. The lions trading pin you see on the left is actually one that we created several years ago for a lions club several years ago. This lions club emblem has been a center piece in our marketing brochures, website images, and even booth displays for the wide array of praise that it has received. You can access more information on the Mother Club by clicking here (where you also can find information to purchase one of these lions club pins). While there you can also check out a little more information about the founder of Lions Club International, Mr. Melvin Jones.
Just a friendly reminder to all those Indiana Lions Club members out there that the MD 25 midwinter conference is around the corner on January 8th at Lawrence Central High School. Don't forget to register so you can come see your fellow lions and show off your custom lions pins. Make sure to visit the We Belong booth for all the lions club coins, lions club patches, and lions club pins that we've created this past year! If you are in need of a lions fundraising idea make sure to stop by our booth so we can show you some new lions club emblem products that will help your club meet its 2011 goals.
See you all soon!
I was recently doing some cleaning up in our Lions Club pins sample area, and I happened to come across this custom Lions pin. It was a Lions trading pin that was created well before my time with the company We Belong, so it was like finding a new treasure to me. The level of detail in this Lions pin is amazing. It goes well beyond the normal die struck 3D method we typically use, and instead this Lions Club emblem was created by casting two separate forms, one for the Lion's body, and one for the Lion's head, and then soldering the two pieces together. After being plated in both gold and antique silver, this Lions Club pin is topped off with green jeweled eyes. Truly a great Lions pin.
