The Conroe Noon Lions Club is “roaring” out of summer and into the future! This week’s meeting welcomed new members Mikayla Brennan, Madison Perry, Pablo Sanchez, Geren Sims and Justin Watkins. In the meantime, many “old” Lions received awards this past week for YEARS of perfect attendance ranging from one year all the way to 15 years! Fifteen club members represented 110 years of perfect attendance, congratulations!
With the new Lion year comes the drive to bring on Community Partners under our annual Community Partners program. This program began many years ago when Lion Monarch, Don Buckalew, led the effort to expand our reach by tapping community resources outside of the Lions Club circle.
This program is unique in that it allows local businesses and citizens to partner in our activities during the year by donating to our community services projects just once a year. These Community Partner charitable contributions are considered tax deductible, and they allow community businesses to share the burdens of meeting serious needs in our area. Community Partner sales are happening through the month of August! This is your one-time-a-year chance to contribute and receive a FULL YEAR of goodies in return which includes a free pass to some of the fun events the Lions put on during the year. You don’t want to miss out—contact Conroe Noon Lions Club to sign up today!
This month, the Lions Club is asking for nominations for our HOMETOWN MILITARY HERO of the year. This recognition is earned by a local active-duty member of our Armed Services whose hometown is the Conroe Community. Conroe Noon Lions Club cares for, respects and honors our military men and women. The person we adopt will be recognized, supported and sent little appreciation wherever they are deployed during the Club year. Please contact Lion Sharene Carr through the Lions Club Office for information.
This week’s program was a very moving presentation by Lion Christie Sproba about her battle with Multiple Sclerosis. She provided some great information about MS and her health journey through MS and cancer. Although MS is different for each person, Christie’s has progressed over the past 10 years and she has gone from using a cane, crutches, and now an electric wheelchair to get around. Christie highly recommends that any person dealing with trouble walking and maintaining balance swallow their pride and obtain any walking aids that will help—even a good wheelchair.
It definitely reduces the struggle to get things done. She believes in nutritional healing and has depended upon it for dealing with a recurrence of breast cancer as well as dealing with the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. Christie’s story inspires us all to eat right, exercise, and work on maintaining good health to get joy out of life.
Lest we forget our primary mission, our club has one of the largest eye-glass restoration programs in the country that allows us to improve the sight of hundreds of adults and children around the world. Lions care about eyesight! Our members routinely meet to receive, sort, clean, repair and distribute eyeglasses on mission trips.
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.
