HISTORY OF MD-2 & DISTRICT 2-X3

In 1917, Texas was one District with 12 Clubs and 360 mem-bers. These are the Founder Clubs of Texas as follows: Abi-lene, Austin, Beaumont, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Paris, Port Arthur, San Antonio, Temple, Waco, and Wichita Falls. On October 8-10, 1917, the first organizational meeting of Lions was held in Dallas. We observe this day as Lions Ser-vice Day. The Austin Founder Club is the oldest club in Texas with continuous service since January 18, 1916. Texas was divided into District 4, and then in 1921, it was changed to District 2 at the International Convention. District 1 was as-signed to Illinois in honor of Melvin Jones. Texas received the District 2 position for having the most attendance at the Con-vention. In 1930, District 2 Convention was held in the Texas Senate Chambers. Melvin Jones advised Texas to divide into 5 sub-districts==T, E, X, A, S. It was stated that “This divides the work of Texas, but Texas will never be divided”. In 1942, sub districts S1, S2, and S3 were formed. In 1947 sub district T was divided into 2 sub districts and 1958 another one was formed to make T3. By 1959, Texas now has 15 sub districts. During this time, the Past District Governors of Texas was formed. The Texas Lions Camp for Crippled Children, Inc. was proposed in 1948 and chartered in 1949. The 1970’s and 80’s brought in some more changes in the sub district of S with two more sub-districts now making Texas with 16 sub-districts. The Texas Hall of Fame was established and the Texas Lions Foundation was chartered. So Texas has grown over the past 97 years and we are celebrating the next 3 years to start off our Centennial projects of SERVING the hungry, vision, envi-ronment, & youth. We are PROUD of our heritage. We serve with PRIDE and COURAGE to carry on our Forefathers dreams.

HISTORY OF MD-2 & DISTRICT 2-X3 LEOS

LEO CLUB HISTORY

Coach Jim Graver started the Leo ball rolling in 1957 and chances are that ball was a baseball. Graver was the baseball coach of the Abington High School in Pennsylvania, USA and an active member of the Glen-side Lions Club. With help from his fellow Lion, William Ernst, the first

Leo club was charted on December 5, 1957. As the world's first Leo club, the Abington High School Leo Club created the Leo acronym – Leadership, Equality, Opportunity – and chose their school colors, maroon and gold to serve as the Leo club colors. Later,

Equality was changed to Experience. In October 1967, the board of directors of Lions Clubs International

adopted the Leo Club Program as an official program of the association. The Leo Club Program has continued to grow within the last 50 years.

Leos now constitute an international network of over 6,500 clubs in over 140 countries. Community service remains the cornerstone of the pro-gram, fostering a lifetime commitment to helping others. Like their Lion

counterparts, Leo club members enjoy serving their neighbors and watching positive results unfold.

LEO CLUB OBJECTIVE

To provide the youth of the world with an opportunity for development

and contribution, individually and collectively, as responsible members of the local, national and international community.

LEO PLEDGE

I pledge of my hands, extended and open to help those in need. I pledge of my heart, reach for it, and it will be touched.

I pledge of my ears to hear another’s out-cry, My eyes to see the plight of others,

My knowledge to bring a man close to his dreams. I pledge of myself for the betterment of my community, and my country,

and the world.

LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL PURPOSES

TO ORGANIZE, charter and supervise service

clubs to be known as Lions Clubs. TO COORDINATE the activities and standardize

the administration of Lions Clubs. TO CREATE and foster a spirit of understanding

among the peoples of the world. TO PROMOTE the principles of good government

and good citizenship. TO TAKE an active interest in the civic, cultural,

social and moral welfare of the community. TO UNITE the clubs in the bonds of friendship,

good fellowship and mutual understanding. TO PROVIDE a forum for the open discussion of all

matters of public interest, provide, however, that partisan politics and sectarian religion shall not be debated by club members.

TO ENCOURACE service-minded people to serve

their community, without personal financial reward, and to encourage efficiency and promote high ethi-cal standards in commerce, industry, professions, public works and private endeavors.

LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL CODE OF ETHICS

TO SHOW my faith in the worthiness of my

vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.

TO SEEK success and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect lost because of unfair ad-vantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part.

TO REMEMBER that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another’s; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself.

WHENEVER a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.

TO HOLD friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one to another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.

ALWAYS to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, and my community, and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act, and deed. To give them freely of my time, labor and means.

TO AID others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my substance to the needy.

TO BE CAREFUL with my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not to destroy.

CLUB PROTOCOL FOR DISTRICT GOVENOR VISIT

No other program should be planned. The Governor

is your speaker. The senior cabinet member should introduce the

governor. If no cabinet member is present, the club president should make the introduction.

It is appropriate to invite the Zone Chairperson.

Spouses are permitted and encouraged to attend. Address governor by title. Members should rise and applaud at the beginning

and at the end of the governor’s presentation. This is courtesy to the office and not the person.

Schedule the governor’s talk at the end of the meeting. Lions Clubs International requires the governor to

meet with the clubs Board of Directors. Arrange for this at the end of the meeting.

If the club has new members to induct, the governor

should be notified in advance. Usually forty-eight hours in advance.

If the meeting is a spouse’s night, notify the governor

in advance. Seat the governor at the head table, just to the right

of the podium from the president.
