Duncanville Lions Club Message Board

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:

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.
