The Conroe Noon Lions Club is preparing for an exciting week at the Montgomery County Fair, running a concession stand to fund service projects while supporting youth auctions and community initiatives.
There will be "True Grit" at the Montgomery County Fair from April 4–10, when the Conroe Noon Lions Club opens its yearly concession stand. The stand sells Frito pies, corn dogs, popcorn, hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken strips. The money made from these sales will go toward funding the club's community service projects.
The club's Buyers Group will also take part in the Sunshine Day, Non-Livestock, and Livestock auctions to raise money for Montgomery County kids. The club is still working on its regular service projects, even though these fair-related activities are still its main focus.
The club held the Pete Brasher Memorial Speech Contest at Conroe High School last Wednesday. Students gave talks about Lionism-related issues happening around the world. Also, on Saturday, people volunteered at the Eyeglass Recycling Center in Conroe to sort and get ready given glasses for mission trips around the world. People in the community are asked to give their used prescription glasses, reading glasses, or sunglasses to help people around the world who need help seeing.
At the same time, the club's "Lions on the Hunt" Spring Membership Drive is coming to a fierce end, with the women currently in charge. Winners will be able to talk about their accomplishments until March 31 at midnight. However, Lions are reminded to be polite in the concession stand!
On April 23, current members in good standing will be able to vote for the Lions Club officers for the 2025–2026 term.
In related news, the Lions Club's youth group, the Conroe Leo Club, has been busy with recent community service projects. They have helped out at the Community Assistance Center and the Montgomery County Food Bank. The club is constantly looking for new junior high members and has put up posters in area schools to get the word out.
Induction night for the Leos will be on Monday, March 31, at 5:30 p.m. at the Conroe Lake Conroe Chamber. The group meets regularly every other and fourth Monday at 5:30 p.m. The next meeting is planned for April 14.
