COMMUNITY OUTREACH

The Burleson Lions Club participated in Burleson Founders Day 2023.  Several Lions met with Founders Day attendees and provided information on the Lions Club and our service in the Burleson community.  Shown here are Lions Blair Lybbert and Stuart Gillaspie. 

The Burleson Lions Club attended the Burleson Chamber of Commerce Winter Luncheon on January 18, 2024.  Over 20 organizations were in attendance, each communicating their community involvement.  Pictured here is Lion Vaughn Schlegel manning the Burleson Lions Club table.

We had a nice turnout at the Library Great Give Back event on February 3, 2024. Lions Billy, Vaughn, Les, and Blair manned the table while Lion Michael roamed the room. There was a decent turn out of citizens and number of civic/service organizations represented. We talked to a lot of people and shared the Burleson Lions Club story.

Meals on Wheels is an avenue in which the Burleson Lions Club shares with our community.  Each week one or more of our members partners with Meals on Wheels to provide a meal to members of our community and at the same time makes contact with these people for whom it is more difficult to be out and about.  Lions Bill and Gloria Ayars are shown here delivering a meal.
