105th LCICON Boston
The 105th Lions Clubs International Convention is happening in Boston, Massachusetts, from July 7 to July 11. Make your way to this historic American city to look back at all that we’ve done as Lions, where we are now and where we’ll go next. Join us in Boston as we forge a path for the future.
Enjoy LCICon and explore Boston!
Boston is a vibrant city with tons of history, perfectly suited for the modern traveler. While you’re in Boston for LCICon 2023, take advantage of the many historical tours, museums and other attractions around the city.
Learn about the American Revolution on the 2.5-mile red brick Freedom Trail or see how African Americans lived in 19th century Boston on the Black Heritage Trail.
Want to catch a game? Then watch the Red Sox at historic Fenway Park. Or how about a little retail therapy? The city boasts a number of chic boutiques, high-end shops and historical marketplaces.
If you’re hungry, you’re in luck — Boston is a major foodie destination with a buzzing restaurant scene. Of course, there’s a Dunkin’ Donuts around the corner from the convention center, but why not grab brunch at Gather instead? And if you’re looking for that legendary clam chowder, oysters or scallops, then head to Legal Sea Foods in between sessions.
After a great day at convention, you can end the night with dinner and drinks at Harpoon Brewery. Still not enough? Don’t worry—there’s something for everyone in Boston.
The Boston Convention and Exhibition Center
The convention center is in Boston’s seaport district — a newly developed, conveniently located area that’s surrounded by hotels, restaurants and bars, so you’ll be able to attend convention, then duck out for a meal or simply relax. And at just 3 miles from Logan International Airport, it won’t take you long to get there.
See you at LCICon 2023!
We can’t wait to see you at the premier Lion event in Boston, so register now for our 2023 international convention!

Dear Lions, Lionesses, and Leos:
The Directors of the Delaware Lions Foundation are proud to announce that the 25th Annual Delaware Lions Foundation Breakfast will be held on Saturday, February 11, 2023, at the Modern Maturity Center in Dover. The breakfast will begin at 9:30 am. We will once again celebrate the success of our growing Foundation and honor the memory of two distinguished Lions, Past International Directors Ralph N. Helm and James A. McCarty. Both leaders loved this organization and provided outstanding guidance in its formative years. We will also be honoring PID Ted Reiver for his many years of service to the foundation.
You do not have to be a Ralph Helm Fellow or a Jim McCarty Fellow to enjoy the fellowship and delicious buffet breakfast. This breakfast is open to all who want to attend. Plan to have your Club represented.
