Goliad Lions Hear From Local Texas Lions Camper

The Goliad Lions Club was honored to have as our guest, Mitch McEachern and his mother Sara at our meeting today. Mitch was one of three Goliad County youth who attended the Texas Lions Camp in Kerrville a few weeks ago. Mitch spoke to the club about all that he did while at camp. Unfortunately, this was his last season to attend as a camper, but Mitch hopes to go back in a couple of years as a staff member. Mitch, it was an honor to sponsor you this year.

Your Lions In Action: Goliad Lions Donate to Goliad EMS

This week, the Goliad Lions Club donated about 80 stuffed toys to the Goliad County EMS, which will be used when the EMS has to transport a child. Many times, these children are afraid of their surroundings and the circumstances in which they are being treated. By giving that child a toy during transport reduces the fear.

Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief - to serve their community.

Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects - including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.

Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness.

Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest.

Our Leo Program provides the youth of the world with an opportunity for personal development through volunteering. There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries worldwide.

Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than US$700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times.

Lions help during disasters. Together, our Foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies – and aiding in long-term reconstruction.

Lions are active. Our motto is "We Serve." Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities.
