Second COG Meeting in San Antonio, TX

Exciting times for Texas Lions! We just wrapped up a fantastic Second Council of Governors Meeting in San Antonio, Texas. The energy and enthusiasm among our Lions leaders is palpable as we’re ready to head back to our districts with renewed drive to grow Lionism and serve our communities!

A highlight of our time together was the focus on Diabetes awareness. We took to the streets of downtown San Antonio for a STRIDES walk, raising awareness about diabetes and promoting healthy living.

And what an experience staying at the historic Menger Hotel! So much history and character, making this gathering even more memorable.

Let’s keep the momentum going, Texas Lions!

Lions Camp Summer 2025 Dates Posted

Hey Hey!!! Come Check Out our Dates for Summer 2025!!! The Camper Applications will open the first week in January!!

The 2025 Schedule has a number of exciting and innovative features to meet the expanding needs of the TLC family:

Back by popular demand but leading off the schedule in 2025, will be our exciting Family Stay-n-Play program combining family camp with the residential youth camp. Families will reside at TLC, and qualifying campers will be engaged in a program designed especially for them during the day, and then will rejoin their family for evening programming for the whole family.

Next up, our "regular", residential youth camps for children with physical disabilities, ages 7-16 will be held. (No families at camp these weeks).

We will then host Camp David and a session for children who have Down Syndrome.

The next two weeks will see the return Dr. Ponder and the medical team and are set aside for our campers who have type-1 diabetes.

Camp Discovery will then be back in the house. A one-of-a-kind experience for children who have cancer or are in remission.

Finally, we will end the summer with our innovative program for families.

Start makin' your plans now! The 2025 Summer Season will be here before you know it.

Celebrating the Legacy of Past District Governor Don Max Vars

July 17, 1938-October 27, 2024

For 60 years, Don Max was a beacon of inspiration and service within the Canyon Lions and the Lions community. Over the decades, Don Max held numerous roles including President of Canyon Lions Club and later as a District Governor of 2-T1. These positions not only underscored his leadership capabilities, but also reflected the trust and respect of his fellow Lions.

Celebrating Dia de los Muertos with the El Barrio Lions Club

What a beautiful rainy morning honoring the traditions of Dia de los Muertos with our friends from the El Barrio Lions Club. We immersed ourselves in the rich cultural heritage, from vibrant altars to colorful decorations, remembering and celebrating those who came before us. We even learned how to play Lotería, the Mexican bingo game full of symbolism and fun!

A huge thank you to El Barrio Lions Club for sharing their culture and traditions with us. Here’s to honoring our roots, learning together, and celebrating the beautiful diversity that makes our community so strong! #DiaDeLosMuertos #CommunityCelebration
