Austin Founder Lions Club

Charter Celebration



January 16, 2019


PID Joe Al Picone

Introduced by Lion Ann Ward


Austin Founder Lions will mark the 104th anniversary of the club’s founding at this meeting focused on our club and Lionism. President Ann Ward will review the first six months of the 2019-20 year, as well as plans for the remaining six months of her term.


Past International Director Joe Al Picone will share his perspective on the future of Lionism as the organization has entered its second century of service. While LCI has a proud legacy of service, the challenge is to grow membership and remain relevant in the future. PID Joe Al and his wife Merle live in Brenham, and AFLC is extremely honored to have this distinguished Texas Lion who served on the LCI Board of Directors from July 2011 to 2013 bring a message sure to inspire and challenge us.
