In Loving Memory of PDG Jack King

Our Lions District and the entire Texas Lions family mourn the loss of a truly great Lion, Past District Governor Jack King. Jack was a dedicated member of the Amarillo Downtown Lions Club, a passionate leader, and a tireless servant of others.

His legacy includes his impactful service as Past President of the Texas Lions Camp, where his heart for children and commitment to service shone brightly. Jack embodied the Lions motto, “We Serve,” in every aspect of his life and leadership.

We are grateful for the years of wisdom, compassion, and strength he shared with us. His presence will be deeply missed, but his influence will continue to inspire Lions across Texas and beyond.

Please keep Jack’s family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this time.

Rest in peace, Lion Jack. Your roar will echo in our hearts forever.

His funeral will be held on September 8, 2025 at 2 pm at Boxwell Brothers Ivy Chapel, 2800 Paramount, Amarillo. Click on Jack’s picture above to view his obituary.

Lions of Texas,

In the wake of the devastating flooding in Kerrville and surrounding areas, we are deeply moved by the outpouring of support and compassion from Lions across MD-2. Your willingness to help—whether through service or donations—is a powerful testament to what it means to be a Lion.

Many of you have asked how you can help—and here’s how:

Monetary donations are urgently needed and can be sent to:

• Kerrville Host Lions Club Foundation, P.O. Box 290972, Kerrville, TX 78029

• San Angelo Area Foundation, 221 S Irving, San Angelo, TX. 76903

• Panhandle of Texas Lions Foundation, P.O. BOX 489, Wheeler, TX 79096

Write “2025 Flood Relief” in the memo line of your check. The Lions Clubs are in direct and ongoing contact with first responders and community leaders. All donated funds will go entirely to immediate relief, clean-up efforts, and supporting impacted families. As conditions stabilize, the club will conduct a formal community needs assessment to determine how best to serve in the longer term.

We are grateful for the strength and unity of our MD-2 Lions family.

Second COG Meeting in San Antonio, TX

Exciting times for Texas Lions! We just wrapped up a fantastic Second Council of Governors Meeting in San Antonio, Texas. The energy and enthusiasm among our Lions leaders is palpable as we’re ready to head back to our districts with renewed drive to grow Lionism and serve our communities!

A highlight of our time together was the focus on Diabetes awareness. We took to the streets of downtown San Antonio for a STRIDES walk, raising awareness about diabetes and promoting healthy living.

And what an experience staying at the historic Menger Hotel! So much history and character, making this gathering even more memorable.

Let’s keep the momentum going, Texas Lions!

Lions Camp Summer 2025 Dates Posted

Hey Hey!!! Come Check Out our Dates for Summer 2025!!! The Camper Applications will open the first week in January!!

The 2025 Schedule has a number of exciting and innovative features to meet the expanding needs of the TLC family:

Back by popular demand but leading off the schedule in 2025, will be our exciting Family Stay-n-Play program combining family camp with the residential youth camp. Families will reside at TLC, and qualifying campers will be engaged in a program designed especially for them during the day, and then will rejoin their family for evening programming for the whole family.

Next up, our "regular", residential youth camps for children with physical disabilities, ages 7-16 will be held. (No families at camp these weeks).

We will then host Camp David and a session for children who have Down Syndrome.

The next two weeks will see the return Dr. Ponder and the medical team and are set aside for our campers who have type-1 diabetes.

Camp Discovery will then be back in the house. A one-of-a-kind experience for children who have cancer or are in remission.

Finally, we will end the summer with our innovative program for families.

Start makin' your plans now! The 2025 Summer Season will be here before you know it.
