Lions, did you know one fun-sized candy bar is never actually fun-sized? It’s just a gateway snack. Delicious, delectable, and by the time you've had 3 or 4; you're into the heavy stuff, a FULL size bar!
ROAR STOPPER ALERT! October has officially entered its feral era. Between vision screenings, sugar-fueled events, and enough sign-up links to qualify as spam. If you’re wondering, “Am I supposed to be doing something right now?” the answer is yes. You are.
Major shoutout to our Service Saturday heroes who braved the gym chaos to screen eyeballs and stop children from licking every object in sight. Your reward? Bragging rights and a lingering whistle in the ear.
If you missed out- don’t panic! October is basically one giant optometry party in disguise. Read on.
PRE-SCHOOL VISION SCREENINGS: Tiny Humans, Big Sass
We’re still rolling out like the Oprah of Eye Charts: “You get a screening! You get a screening! Everyone gets a screening!”
Happening every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday - this is your chance to hang with the kiddos and test tiny peepers. No experience needed, just bring your best Lion smile and maybe a juice box or two for emotional support.
TRUNK OR TREAT VISION SCREENING: Lions, Goblins, and Candy Chaso - We’re teaming up with the VFW for their annual Trunk or Treat, aka the Sugar Olympics for Children. Vision screenings + costumes = one unforgettable Saturday. Come help, stay for the Spider-Man with out a mask and the Elsa who’s over it by 11:00 AM.
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE:Roar for More - More Members. More Pride. More Chaos…er, Impact! We’ve split into two teams for max drama:

THIS WEEK’S PROGRAM: District Governor Mike George
The big Lion is rolling into town! District Governor Mike George, hailing from the Dayton Lions Club, will share what’s happening across the Houston area. Think of it as a hype session for Lionism- and yes, we’re trying to pack the room, so bring a friend, a prospect, or that neighbor who owes you a favor.
The Hannahgram: Caffeine, Chaos & a Car That’s Clearly Plotting Against Me - October has been a nonstop circus of screenings, sign-ups, and group texts that start off helpful and end with everyone questioning their life choices. I’m finally supposed to get my car back this week… pray it’s fixed and not just haunted. If it breaks down again, I’m ditching it on the side of the road and calling it “strategic event networking.” Still here. Still surviving. Powered by caffeine, sarcasm, and the stubborn refusal to admit defeat. But hey, we’re Lions. We show up, we serve, and we always find the snack table first!
