TEXAS LIONISM
Texas is truly the birthplace of Lionism.
Lions International came into official being in
Texas at the first convention on October, 1917.   
This convention was held at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas
and the name  "Lion"  was accepted as the name of our organization.
Texas, from the inception of Lions International,
has always occupied a prominent place in the affairs of
Lions International.
This dedication to leadership and innovation
continues today.

Texas has 30,000 members serving in more than 980 clubs,
16 Districts supporting Lions Clubs International.

With 1.35 million members serving in more than 45,000 clubs
in over 200 countries and geographical areas,
Lions Clubs International is the world's
largest service club organization.
