One of my hobbies in Lions is pin collecting. Ever since I have been to my first Lions Club International Convention in Montreal 1996, I have been collecting them. Every year I go the international convention with a bag full of Spanish pins, with the hope of get the pins I would like for my collection. After colleting for so many years I have about 8.000 pins. This page I have created is to honor those pins that are not so known. Everybody collects MD pins from USA or Europe, but how many people collect District Governor pins from Peru or Sri Lanka. Well that's exactly what I am trying to do. Collect and conserve this part of our history, they might not be "collectable", for the ordinary collectors, but I sincerely believe they are interesting and nice to save, at least as part of our heritage as Lions. So I have prepared a series of links where you can see these pins I am still working on these so maybe in a few years it might be ready. For the usual issues I highly recommend to visit my friend Verle, web page. It has a lot of interesting information it's very good and basically he has all the MD pins from USA and the rest of the world: http://www.lcpinemporium.com:80/ Also you can visit the LIONS INTERNATIONAL PIN TRADING CLUB, there is a lot of interesting information: LITPC |
