In 2014 the West Hartford Lions Club, founded in 1946, joined with the Hartford Host Lions Club, founded in 1922, to form the Greater Hartford Host Lions Club. The goal of the club, as in the past, will be "To Serve," but now it will be to an expanded area. Support will continue to be given to such vision organizations as the Low Vision Center in New Britain, Oak Hill School, amd Connecticut Radio Information Service for the Blind (CRIS). Scholarship programs will focus on graduating seniors who are college bound. Needy children and adults who require eye exams and/or glasses will be helped. The American School for the Deaf (ASD) and Childrens Village wil continue to receive Lions Club support, as will as number of other child and adult organizations.

Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization with more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas around the world.
