Lions Club Stories

The Lions Club Pin Emporium Website is for new and longtime pin traders that want to know more about Lions Club International Convention pins that have been issued from the 1950's to the present. The website also provides images and information covering other Lions Club International items of interest like attendance, special awards, etc. It has become "the" reference website to learn about LCI pin trading and is even used by antique dealers as a reference. The website was started in 2004 and averages over 500 unique visitors a week with spikes of over a thousand. Page loads fluctuate wildly from 2,000 to 9,000+ per week which generates a lot of informative communications.

The website is the primary pastime of retiree Lion Verle Malik. Lion Verle has held all local Club offices with the exception of Secretary and has been Zone Chairman three times in different Districts. Lions and especially pin trading got into his blood about eighteen years ago and has been his main focus since retiring in 2002. Twelve to sixteen hours a day are spent researching and communicating with pin traders around the World. All this effort has produced two handbooks that thoroughly cover USA Multiple Districts pins plus a third covering Countries from all continents (except for Antarctica-not many Lions there). If you are or thinking about becoming a Lions Club pin trader this website is a "must" to subscribe to! Whether you join or not, Lion Verle enjoys talking about Lions trading pins so contact him with your questions at lionverl@comcast.net.
