Kyle Lions Club holds presentation

KYLE — Jeff Kunkel, the Lions Club International district governor, spoke at the Kyle Lions Club on Aug. 8 for its in-person meeting at the AMVETS building.

Kunkel aims to visit each club in the Lions District 2-S3 in Central Texas. At the Kyle meeting, he presented several ideas, including member recruitment, club extensions and member retention.

International district events include learning symposiums, a golf tournament and an annual convention.

Currently, the Kyle location supports the local community with scholarships and camping opportunities for special needs children and their family. Those who wear glasses have the option of donating their old frames to drop boxes at local businesses. There are also food distributions at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church at 11:30 a.m. on the second Tuesday of each month, as well as quarterly breakfasts for AMVETS.

The club also sponsors a food drive for the Hays County Food Bank with other local organizations at Walmart, located at 5754 Kyle Parkway.

The Kyle Lions Club welcomes new members, including at the 7 p.m. in-person meeting every second Thursday of the month at the AMVETS building, located at 401 Veterans Drive, and in Zoom meetings at 6:30 p.m. on the fourth Thursday.
