NEW AUDIOMETERS

Recently the Burleson Lions Club purchased two new audiometers to assist with our annual Vision and Hearing screeings.  These audiometers were purchased with funds donated in memory of Lion Galen Atkinson, who passed away unexpectedly last year.  Galen was a major player in our screenings.

Our screenings are our largest service project and serve over 4500 students every year!!  These audiometers will help us better serve our communtiy, living up to our motto, WE SERVE!


SCHEDULED VISION & HEARING SCREENINGS COMPLETE FOR 2024!!

The Burleson Lions Club's largest annual service project, Vision & Hearing Screenings, recently completed for 2024.  4,504 chidren were screened for both vision and hearing issues.  612 vision referrals for follow up care were made.  Screenings are held every year for Burleson ISD, Keene ISD, and other Burleson area children.  This year we performed screenings at 17 different locations.  It takes multiple Lions to accomplish our yearly task of helping around 4,500 children!!  Many thanks to all the volunteers that contributed to this worthy endeavor!!!  We volunteered over 600 hours of work to make this happen.

The completion of our scheduled screenings doesn't mean we can't still help.  If you know a private school, homeschool, or other Burleson Area group that needs help with vision and hearing screening, please contact the Burleson Lions (email@burlesonlions.org).  We are happy to help if we can.  WE SERVE.

Thanks to Past President Blair Lybbert, the Burleson Lions Club now has a display in the Burleson Museum and Visitors Center.  Lion Blair coordinated with the Burleson Heritage Foundation to secure a spot to honor the history and contributions of the Burleson Lions Club.  Huge kudos to Lion Blair for getting this accomplished!!  Another notch in his list of accomplishments increasing the visibility of our club!!!

The case includes our original Burleson Lions Club charter, Lion Ted Whitley's vest and description, along with additional information about our club.

The Burleson Museum and Visitors Center is in the middle of Old Town at Mayor Vera Calvin Plaza.  They are open Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.  Please visit and learn more about Burleson history and our club's part in it.

CONGRATULATIONS BILLY AYARS!!

Billy was recently recognized as Lion of the Year for the Burleson Lions Club. Bill has very humbly served this club for many years.  He is always the first to step forward for countless projects, community service needs, and tons of small detail items without regard for praise or notoriety.  Our club is Extremely lucky to have you and your dedication to Service to Others.  You exemplify the Lions motto "WE SERVE"!!!

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

The Burleson Lions Club attended the Burleson Chamber of Commerce Winter Luncheon on January 16, 2025.  We enjoyed the opportunity to let everyone know what the Burleson Lions Club is about.  It's always great to meet the wonderful people of Burleson. 



The Burleson Lions Club once again participated in Burleson Founders Day in 2024.  Several Lions met with Founders Day attendees and provided information on the Lions Club and our service in the Burleson community. It is always great to get out into the community and talk about our club.  We also made several positive contacts with possible new members.



The Burleson Lions Club attended the Burleson Chamber of Commerce Fall Luncheon on October 17, 2024.  Lions had the chance to talk with multiple City and business leaders and enjoyed a lunch from Old Texas Brewing Company along with the speakers.


We had a nice turnout at the Library Great Give Back event on February 3, 2024. Lions Billy, Vaughn, Les, and Blair manned the table while Lion Michael roamed the room. There was a decent turn out of citizens and number of civic/service organizations represented. We talked to a lot of people and shared the Burleson Lions Club story.



Meals on Wheels is an avenue in which the Burleson Lions Club shares with our community.  Each week one or more of our members partners with Meals on Wheels to provide a meal to members of our community and at the same time makes contact with these people for whom it is more difficult to be out and about.  Lions Bill and Gloria Ayars are shown here delivering a meal.
