Nominations Due for Texas Lions Hall of Fame

Texas Lions Hall of Fame Nominations 


Hello Fellow Lions,

Every three years, our district has the opportunity to name someone to the Texas Lions Hall of Fame. Elevation of Lions into the Texas Lions Hall of Fame bestows an honor upon one who has been outstanding in using their time, talents, and resources to further the cause of humanitarian services.

Following the state bylaws, I have named a committee of Lions from five different clubs to review nominations from the district for the Texas Lions Hall of Fame. If you or your club would like to nominate a fellow Lion, please see the requirements listed below and email your nomination letter to me at District2T1Lions@gmail.com before 5 p.m. on Thursday, January 26, 2023. Our committee will meet Friday, January 27, to select our district's new Hall of Fame member, and the winner will be recognized at the state Lions convention in Ft. Worth this May.

Thank you for your service. #TogetherWeCan #WeServe

Lion Roger Estlack,
2-T1 District Governor
