Why Join the Keller Lions Club?

The Keller Lions Club is part of Lions International, a service-centered civic organization dedicated to eyeglass collection and distribution, hunger initiatives, child cancer among others for over 100 years. At a local level, the Keller Lions Club concentrates our service efforts to those in the Keller Community. 75 years ago, when the Keller Lions Club was founded, Keller was unincorporated and less than 1,000 residents. As Keller grew, so did the Keller Lions Club and we are proud of our 75 members who volunteer their time and labor to serve the Keller community. We support our local scout troops, conduct food drives, sponsor the eyeglass recycling center, and fund numerous education initiatives including 4H, FFA and scholarships to name a few. Every year, we send a delegation to the Texas Lions Camp in Kerrville, TX, and volunteer to get the camp ready for the next group of campers. The Texas Lions Camp provides a camp for children with disabilities including diabetes so these kids can experience summer camp with their peers. We host two major fundraisers each year, the Keller Lions Club Fair, and the Keller Lions Club BBQ cookoff. Every dollar we raise goes back into the community to enrich other non-profits or individuals in need. The advantages to joining the Keller Lions Club are service to the community and being part of a great group of like-minded civic servants. Our camaraderie is second to none, it’s the most fun anyone will ever have volunteering. The Lions International motto is, “We Serve,” and that is what Keller Lions Club is all about – service and serving others. You can be as involved as much you want or as little as you want, and like everything else, you get out what you put in. Come join us and see if we’re right for you. We meet the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month at 7:00 PM. We serve dinner then meet so come hungry. There’s no irony that a group of lions is called a pride, and being a member of the Keller Lions Club brings great pride! Scott Zang
