Howdy folks, it’s that time of the year again! Our 48th year of the Conroe Noon Lions Club – Annual Buddy Moorhead Pigskin Preview. Beginning in 1976, but was named in 1983 after Coach Buddy Moorhead, who was a Lions club member passed away unexpectedly.
President International Director Don Buckalew designed the program somewhat after the “Touchdown Club” and until Lion Buckalew passed away he served as the program’s Master of Ceremonies. Many of our club members were Conroe Tiger football players and still have that Tiger passion for their local team.
Dr. Null Superintendent of CISD introduced the nine-area high school football coaches who brought us up to date on both the offense and defense for their teams. They talked about how they are looking forward to their players performance this season. I have enjoyed how the coaches, over the past few years, banter and tease back and forth between each other making for an interesting and entertaining program. Conroe Noon Lions greatly appreciates the coaches guiding these students to not only become good sportsmen but mentoring them to become productive citizens. In return we, as a community Lions Club, strive to provide scholarships for many high school students to achieve their goals. Thank you coaches for your leadership!
Now for some club news. We are looking forward to completing our drive for school supplies this week for our adopted school – Reaves Elementary. Also, our Service Saturday project was a big success helping the teachers at Reaves set up their classrooms for the new school year. Plus, we have the club’s major fundraiser for the year, our annual 2024-2025 Community Partners drive underway. If you’re interested in helping Conroe Noon help our community this program is for you.
President Bryan Rennell-thanked the coaches for coming and we’ll be looking forward to hearing from them at our next Pigskin Preview. Before closing the meeting, he reminded us of club projects coming up and we should always strive to invite new members. Remember to encourage our newbies to join in on our activities and make them feel welcome. Please come and join us any Wednesday at noon. The food is good, and fellowship is great!
The Conroe Noon Lions Club meets on Wednesdays, at noon, at the Lone Star Convention Center. For more information about the Conroe Noon Lions Club, please visit our website, www.conroenoonlions.org, or call the club office at 936-760-1666.
