Are
You involved in a service Club- giving back to the community?
You
may have heard that Helen Keller charged Lions to become "Knights for the
Blind" and that was just one challenge to identify and address needs for
others!
Do
you want to become part of the world's largest service organizations?
It all starts with a club visitation.
I, Joe Kyle
will be glad to have you as my guest for the 1st visit (free lunch).
Cost of lunch is usually $12.00. We meet for lunch every Friday at
11:45 A.M. at Hilton Garden Inn, Corner of I-20 and and Main Street in
Duncanville. MAP
Visitors are Always Welcome!
Don't miss our next meeting also
known as:
Stress
Relief Fridays.

TEXAS LIONISM - Texas is truly the birthplace
of Lionism. Lions International came into official being in Dallas, Texas
at the first convention in October, 1917. This convention
was held at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas and the name "Lion"
was accepted as the name of our organization. Texas,
from the inception of Lions International, has always occupied a prominent
place in the affairs of Lions International. This dedication to leadership
and innovation continues today.
With over 1.4 million members serving in more
than 46,000 clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas, Lions Clubs
International is the world's largest service club organization. Texas has
over 32,400 members serving in more than 960 clubs supporting Lions International
and The Duncanville Lions is one of the largest and most active in Texas.
WILL YOU BE AN ACTIVE
MEMBER
THE KIND THAT WOULD
BE MISSED?
OR ARE YOU JUST CONTENTED
THAT YOUR NAME IS ON
THE LIST?
WILL YOU ATTEND THE
MEETINGS
AND MINGLE WITH THE
FLOCK?
OR WILL YOU STAY AT
HOME
AND CRITICIZE AND KNOCK?
WILL YOU EVER GO TO
VISIT
A MEMBER WHO IS SICK?
OR LEAVE THE WORK TO
JUST A FEW
AND THEN TALK ABOUT
A CLIQUE?
THERE ARE WEEKLY PROGRAMS
SCHEDULED
THAT I AM SURE YOU'VE
HEARD ABOUT
AND WE WOULD ALL APPRECIATE
IT
IF YOU WOULD COME AND
HELP US OUT
SO COME TO THE MEETINGS

AND HELP WITH HAND AND
HEART
DON'T BE JUST A MEMBER
DIG IN AND DO YOUR PART
THINK THIS OVER MEMBER
YOU KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT
FROM WRONG
WILL YOU BE AN ACTIVE
MEMBER,
OR WILL YOU JUST BELONG
