We sponsored the very
first Leo Club in Beaumont, Texas with the help of Hubie Hiltz, co-founder and
Leo Club advisor. This club existed from 1982 until 1987.
The club has proudly
been a 200% sponsor of the Texas Lions Camp since inception of the club. We
provide two $1000 college scholarships per year in the names of two of our very
best Lions, Robert D. Blackburn 1982-2002 and Loyd B. Davis 1981-1999.
