LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: WE HAVE A PROBLEM!    

Last year the Lions Clubs in Texas lost more than 1500 members. Do you realize that is almost our entire membership in District 2-S2??      

At this rate, there will be no Lions in Texas in 20 YEARS. When was the last time YOU asked someone to become a Lion?

First Vice District Governor Paul Eads
