Lions Clubs International 100% attendance award program started
in 1927. The purpose was to recognize Lions club members for their perfect
attendance at club meetings. Lions Clubs members can make up missed club
meetings if done so 6 days before or 6 days after words the missed meeting by
attending other clubs or other Lion's activates. Lions Clubs International also
issued 100% attendance tabs for each year of continuous attendance and they are
available in 1 through 60.

* If your scratching your head why I started at 1945, if the attendance
awards started in 1927.
1. Supply and Demand, 1927-1944 are very hard to find, every now and then
they show up on E-bay but go for big bucks.
There is one website that show the 100% attendance pins in there entirety at
Lions International Trading Pin Club .
2. All pins are from my collection, and I have 29 years of perfect attendance. BK
