Barbers Hill Lions to hold Charter Night
By MIKE GEORGE
Lions Club International is a worldwide organization and with 1.3 million men and women members from 205 countries is the largest service organization in the world. Of all its members, however, only a select few are Charter Members which means original members who were there when their new club began. This Saturday night, in the Magnolia Room of the Eagle Pointe Recreation Complex in Mont Belvieu, the Barbers Hill Lions will be doing just that. Only those Lions who have joined already or fill out an application and pay the membership dues through Charter Night will be Charter Lions of the Barbers Hill Lions Club. It’s a prestigious and historic opportunity.
Lions Clubs pay for and conduct vision and health screenings, help with hearing deficiencies, build parks, support eye banks and hospitals, award scholarships, assist a community’s youth, provide help in cases of disaster or emergencies and much, much more.
Things get underway at 6 p.m. with a social meet and greet along with a silent auction. Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. with the program beginning soon after.
Each new Lions Club has a sponsoring club that gets them started in the process of forming their own club and this case is no different. The Dayton Noon Lions Club is the sponsoring club with two of their members assigned to associate and help the club during its formative months.
