Massachusetts Lions District 33Y Home Page

Lions District 33Y is located in the western part of the state of Massachusetts and encompasses the counties of Berkshire,
Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire. We are comprised of 39 Lions Clubs, 1 Lioness Club and 3 Leo Clubs made up more
than of 1,600 men, women and youths. We have come together for a common cause, that of helping others.

At the 1925 Lions International Convention, Helen Keller challenged the Lions to become "Knights of the Blind". Since that
time, we have become identified with sight conservation, helping others obtain eyeglasses, vision surgery and eye
research. We have expanded beyond sight conservation into diabetes awareness and research because of the large effect
diabetes has on sight impairment. And into hearing research and assistance.

But the Lions are more than sight conservation. We also assist in the education and development of our youth, in aid to the
elderly, in a multitude of other worthwhile endeavors.

Above you will find links to the identity of our District leaders, to programs of our District, to the calendar listing club and
district events, and to some of the clubs that make up our district with further explanations of what those clubs do. Please
look through our site.

Thank You.
