Austin Downtown Lions "A Founder Club"
Austin Downtown Lions
A Founder Club
Through the years our club has been known as the Austin Lions Club, the Lions Club of Austin, and the Downtown Lions Club. In 1976,
the name was formally changed to the Founder Lions Club of Austin.
We still enjoy our status as the “world’s oldest continuously operating Lions Club.” But, we like to think that our efforts in
community service are typical of Lions Clubs the world over. It's a story of stage shows, garage sales, rodeos, rose sales and
other kinds of fund raisers. It's a story of answering the needs of the community and of disadvantaged groups and individuals.
And it's a story of building and working with other Lions Clubs to promote teamwork in service.
We are perhaps most proud, however, to be a part of Lions International, which provides the opportunity to support nonpartisan service activities that are worldwide in scope. Through Lions International we can help fight blindness and other social problems around the world while promoting international understanding, and that's what makes our association so special.
Join us for Lunch on Thursdays at Wells Fargo Bank, 400 W. 15th Street, 3rd
floor Conference Room. See the calendar for more information.
