  The Buda Lions have been a part of your community since 1975.  Our club is chartered through Lions Club International, which is the world's largest service organization.  When asked who or what are the Lions, we have the simplest and most complete answer: we make as much money as we possibly can to give back first, to this community and second, to people all over the world.  This means that children with vision impairments will be given sight and that people with other disabilities will be able to participate in our community, and in general, will better the living conditions of those less fortunate than ourselves.  We can't do these things as individuals, but if we are loving, caring adults with a Godly inspiration to help others, we can band together, and with God's help we can make some miracles happen.

   No child in this part of Hays County, if they have correctable vision has to go to school unable to see.  If their families are not able to bear the cost of the eye exam and the purchase of the glasses, the Lions Club is ready with this funding.  Often, we receive feedback from when we have touched the lives of these kids.  There are many stories that make our hearts fill with a sense of accomplishment.  When we receive letters and notes that say," thank you, now I can see what the teacher writes on the chalkboard," we know we are getting the job done.

   The Buda Lions have sent many of this area's kids to the "TEXAS LIONS CAMP for children with physical disabilities & children with diabetes."  Most of these kids would never have otherwise been able to go to camp, but the Lions camp was just suited to their needs.  Their parents tell us of their apprehension and concern, the children come home with tales of wonder and the thrill of going canoeing and horse back riding and the love and help of a great staff of caring people.

   Helen Keller challenged the Lions Club many years ago to help the blind people of this world.  Maybe you know someone who has received a cornea transplant from the Lions Eye Bank, or maybe you know someone who uses a guide dogs that was furnished by the Lions Leader Dogs for the Blind.  If you've been in this area for any time at all, you should know at least one of the recipients of the college scholarships that the Buda Lions Club gives.  At the end of each school year ten deserving seniors are selected to receive these awards.  We're trying to do more.    Many local clubs, charities, public and private organizations and individuals have come to us for assistance and aid.  It sure is a wonderful feeling to be able to help.

   The second and fourth Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m., the Buda Lions Club meets for a wonderful supper and a short meeting.  The meeting is held at the Buda United Methodist Church, (on the corner of  San Marcos and Elm Streets).  The Buda Lions is non-denominational organization with an eye on accomplishing what we can of the Lord's work.  Our meetings start with a Prayer for our souls, and the Pledge of Allegiance from our hearts.

   Currently your Buda Lions Club is made up of just over 45 men and women.  We work hard, but we also have a lot of fun.  Would you please take this as an invitation to come to one of our meetings.  If you would prefer to contact one of our members that you know and have them sponsor you, please call them and let them get you started in Lionism.  For more information email budalions@budalions.com.

Thank You,

The Buda Lions Club
