Texas
Lions Fellow Award
The Texas Lions Fellow is to honor a person or business in
whose name a monetary gift in the amount of five hundred
dollars ($500) or more is made to the Foundation. They will
receive a Plaque and Pin presented by one of the officers of
the Foundation at an appropriate occasion. There will be a
Plaque in the Texas Lions State Office listing all Texas Lions
Fellows and the year they were designated. For
each five hundred dollar ($500) additionally donated in the
name of the same person to the Texas Lions Foundation, a
diamond will be added to the plaque and pin. For example, a
gift of fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500) would entitle the
individual to be a 2 star Texas Lions Fellow.

Flood Award
This award will be presented to each District Governor in
whose District an accumulative amount of money is raised which
equals $2 per member in their District. The Foundation year
will be from July 1 through June 30. Presentation of this
award will be made at the annual August Council of Governors'
Meeting in Kerrville.
All monies raised from these awards will go
directly into the endowment fund of the Texas Lions
Foundation. There will be no expenditures made from the
Endowment Fund. Only income from the fund will be available
for Lion's Projects.
The Sustaining Member Award and Texas Lions Fellow is an
outstanding way to honor an outgoing President of a Lions
Club, District Governor or some individual in the Lions Club
or community who has given exceptional service to the club.
The money can be sent to:
PID Marshall W. Cooper, Chief Operations Officer
Texas Lions Foundation
6005 99th Street
Lubbock, Texas 79424-3823
Please include, with the money, the name and address of the
honoree and to whom the presentation items are to be sent. A
Trustee of the Foundation will present the award, if you so
desire.
The Foundation was established to provide a non-profit
structure with which to advance the purposes and objectives of
the Lions of Texas. It is governed by 16 Trustees who are
appointed by the Governor of each District for a two-year
term.
The Foundation is a 501(C)(3) organization; therefore, all
contributions are fully tax-deductible. As you know, money
that is given to a Lions Club is not generally tax-deductible.
The Foundation is a sleeping giant, which when truly awakened,
(that is, supported by the Lions of Texas), can be a great
force that can help promote Texas Lions projects. A gift to
the Foundation will continue to give for all times. |
