In lieu of Christmas Gifts this year Recognition Services has made a monetary donation to the Wounded Warrior Project on behalf of our dedicated customers.
“The Wounded Warrior Project™ (WWP) exists to honor and empower Wounded Warriors who incurred service-connected injures on or after September 11, 2001. On that date, America watched in horror as approximately 3,000 people died including hundreds of firefighters and rescue workers.
The tragic events of Sept. 11 are often the reason warriors say they felt a sense of duty to volunteer for the military.” As stated on the Wounded Warrior Project website.
These individuals chose to defend our country, and that is why we honor them.
So this Christmas we are thanking You by supporting our great country’s men and women who guard our freedom and safety.
From all of us to you, Merry Christmas!

Found in: Challenge Coins, Military Patch, Masonic Lapel Pin, Lions Club Pin
This past year we have had numerous requests from members of Lions Club International asking for a unique gift that they could give as an award to outstanding Lions or Lions Club supporters. After quite a bit of design and development, we are pleased to bring to you the Lions Club Etched Medallion Plate!
These awards are a fantastic option when a lapel pin, challenge coin, or certificate simply will not convey enough appreciation. These plates can be proudly displayed in club entrances, on podiums, and tables as each piece comes with its own satin lined gift box and wooden stand. Customization options are available for the plates, and the stock design you see above has a low minimum of only one piece! If you are looking for the perfect gift to let you know your cabinet, sponsors, and volunteers just how special they are then please do not hesitate to
contact us today.
Thank you again to all our supporters and customers, we greatly appreciate your business.
It's been a crazy few weeks around here at Recognition Services as we having been preparing our booth for the upcoming Lions Clubs International show in Seattle. However we are sure our efforts will have a big impact on the exhibitor show hall in the 2400 aisle. If you are lucky enough to make it out to Seattle please make sure to swing by our booth 2411 and say hello to Craig and Steve, they are very eager to get out there and meet with you all!
This year we will present the best in premiere Lions pins and Lions coins as we always have, but we are also excited to present brand new Lions Club Award and Lions Fundraising idea items. We will have samples to hand out as always, but quantities will be limited per design so make sure to swing by the booth early to pick up your favorite design!
We hope that those of you who are coming out have a safe and fast trip and enjoy the Seattle atmosphere. For those of you who are not able to make it out to Seattle we would still be happy to send you out a sample upon request, just submit your information to the link at the top of this page.
With the
Special Olympics World Games almost upon us we have had the great opportunity to create many custom lapel pins, custom embroidered patches, and custom challenge coins that have been used to raise awareness and funds for this great organization. Here at Recognition Services we just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to those of you we have had the pleasure of working with for these events. More importantly we want to say thank you to all the supporters and sponsors of Special Olympics events around the world.
Each year people from all walks of life and all corners of society will come together in support of the Special Olympics games and participants. We have seen local
Lions Club Members get involved, law enforcement officials take pride in a
traditional torch run, and even bikers organizing
fundraiser rides for Special Olympics.
If you are not already involved with this great organization I encourage you to click
on this link to see how you can get involved with a program in your area. It is always a pleasure working with the members of these organizations and their supporters, their spirit of service and humbleness is truly inspiring.

By now hopefully all you Lions Club members have received your club supplies catalog. If you have, would you kindly flip to page 46 and 47 of the catalog so you can put a face with the names you have come to know over the past few years. You can also see some of our favorite lions club pins and lions club coins we have produced this past year. Another item I would like to draw your attention to is the new Wipe It Now! cleaners we have introduced to our product line.
These Wipe It Now! cleaners are another great Lions fundraising idea that you can easily double your investment on. This item will allow for a customized full color imprint of your design to be put on our stock circle and square shaped pieces. They are easily applied to your cell phones and can be reapplied multiple times. They are great for not only screen cleaning, but eyeglass cleaning as well (no more rubbing your glasses on your shirt!). This microfiber is a very versatile piece, and very easy to clean. For more information on these pieces please
contact us here!
Now that you know what we look like, feel free to stop by our booths at the upcoming conventions in Seattle and Anchorage and say hey to a friendly face.
A few days ago I finished up our annual report for Lions Club International regarding all the custom lions club pins that we produced in 2010. The final results of this report shocked Craig and I to say the least. We are so busy throughout the year helping each individual Lions Club or District Governor that we do not often get to stop and step back to see the overall picture of our work.
Now that report is complete I am very thrilled and grateful to tell you that we produced over 140,000 custom made Lions Club pins, Lions Club coins, and Lions Club patches in 2010! Thank you again for your continued support by allowing us these opportunities for production and proving that we are the number one source for Lions Club pins!
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!
With the year coming to an end we have heard lots of talk from our Lions Club customers regarding their end of year festivities. While it has been great making custom Lions Club pins, custom Lions coins, and Lions Club patches, it has been even better to be part of these projects that will recognize hard work and dedication the recipients have for Lionism.
If you know of a Lions Club International member who has done great things for the club and community then please leave a comment and give proper due to those members. We would love to see them get the recognition they deserve.
Since the last post we have been very busy playing catch up from the amazing Lions Club International USA/Canada Forum. It was a great show for us and we had a great time dealing with all the Lions Club Pins, Lions Club Patches, and Lions Club Coins.
Even more exciting for us are the new Lions Club products that we will be unveiling in 2011. We have been working with Lions Club International very diligently for the past several weeks preparing for what we know is our strongest line up to help you raise money for your clubs, and award those members who deserve it. Check those Lions Club 2011 supply catalogs!
Pictures and more info coming soon.
We are very eager to see all of our Lion Club friends at the upcoming USA Canada Lions Leadership Forum in Milwaukee next week.

We talk a lot on here about Lions Club Pins, Lions Club Patches, Lions Club Coins, and other Lions Club Fundraising ideas, however we have yet to talk about the origins of the Lions Club. I wanted to take a minute to write a little about the Lions Club history, and it’s founder Melvin Jones. Melvin Jones was born on January 13th, 1879, raised in Chicago, and a leader in Chicago’s business elite circle in the 1910’s and 20’s. Upon realizing the scope of his success and potential, Melvin along with fellow business associates decided to turn their ambitions toward civil service for the greater good of their communities, and thus the idea of the Lions Club was born. I encourage you to do a little research on Melvin. His vision and dedication deserve your time. You can also see more in regards to Melvin’s Memorial here.
We talk a lot here about our custom Lions pins, custom Lions patches, and custom Lions coins. We tell a few stories about our Lion friends and their Lions pins, we talk about where we’ve been and where we’re going. Now I think it’s time for you guys to talk about your clubs and your lions pins. Let us know about the last pin your Lion club designed and its significance. Tell us about the activities your Lions club is involved with, and how your Lions club keeps growing. We hope to share your story for all Lions to see and learn from.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
The Lions Club is known for having hospitable members, in fact it’s a trait that has made Lions Clubs International synonymous with caring around the world. Lions serve their community with charitable efforts, fundraising successes, and good old fashioned elbow grease when the need arises. But many Lions serve outside of the Lions club as well, and I wanted to make special mention of these folks so they get the praise they deserve. I speak of the Lions who are police officers, soldiers, paramedics, nurses, and the like. These are truly great people we have the pleasure of serving when we make their custom lions pins, lions patches, and lions coins. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your service within the Lions club, and within our communities.
If you know a lion that fits the above description, leave a comment and give them their due praise, we want to hear about it!
Since 1917 Lions from around the world have come together yearly for their biggest convention, and the 2010 International Convention is right around the corner. This year’s International Convention will take place from June 28-July 2 in Sydney, Australia, and the Recognition Services team is glad to be in attendance with our custom Lions product lines. The International Convention and the USA/Canada Forum have always been great opportunities to get to meet you all face to face and share some stories and laughs. Make sure to swing by the booth and meet Steve and Lynn while you’re there. While in the booth
check out our custom Lions’ pins, patches, coins, and keychains and let us know if there is anything we can do for you!

In one of our recent blog posts, we discussed new
Lions Club Fundraising Merchandise that we are rolling out in 2010 such as custom Lions Club Coins, Lions Club Patches, Lions Club Pins and even Lions Club Key Chains. We have put our 30 plus years of experience behind our work and have been delivering some truly unique custom designs for Lions Club Fundraising products.
Our customer testimonials are a great reminder that these Lions Club products are most than just a pin, patch or coin – they are a team building piece that Lions Club members wear and share with pride. Several Lions Club leaders are using these products not only for fundraising, but also to recognize those involved for their extraordinary work. We are especially excited about the tradition our custom Lions Club Coins are creating among members. Below is a testimonial we wanted to share from Jack Weist about a custom coin we created for him to use as an award.
“The coins have been a great morale building piece. There are several people who have helped me this last year who definitely deserve the recognition. These key people in my district are given the ‘Jack Weist Award’ and they have been grateful for it. Not many Lion’s are familiar with this tradition so it means something special to them. I would definitely recommend the coin for fellow Lions. It’s a great way to make someone feel appreciated for their hard work.”
Contact us today if you would like to create your own custom Lions Club Coins to use as awards.
We are excited to announce new lines of officially licensed Lions Club merchandise for 2010. Many Lions Clubs throughout the world have realized the great potential that promotional items such as Lions Club Pins have for their fundraising efforts. We Belong by Recognition Services is committed to helping you find new ways to raise money for donations to worthwhile Lions causes.
Custom Lions Club Coins are probably the product we are most excited about for Lions Club members. The excitement could be due to the fact that we love designing and making Custom Lions Coins, and have been providing service organizations with coins for 32 years. But we also know how much money can be raised with Lions Club Pins and have seen the same success with our coin customers. Ideas for custom Lions Coins include: acknowledging outstanding effort and contribution; thanking a volunteer; promoting unity between clubs and districts; and celebrating special events like anniversaries or promotions.
Lions club patches are also a new officially licensed Lions Club product for 2010. Yes, we also have many years of experience with designing and producing patches for all types of organizations. From Police Departments to Motorcycle Clubs, we've provided patches as small as one-inch and as large as 20-inches. Lions Club Appliqués are also available, which are typically 1-inch diameter patches with an adhesive backing. Appliqués are a fantastic inexpensive option to hand out at conventions as a means of ‘tagging’ your fellow Lions.
Lions Club Key Chains are another new item for Lions to use to promote their club, auction off for charity or trade with other Lions Clubs. Our custom Lions key chains are available with all the same options you can find with our custom Lions trading pins.
We'll follow up in the next months with fundraising ideas and examples for how you can use Lions Club coins, Lions patches, Lions key chains and Lions Club pins to promote and raise money for your Lions Club.
