ANOTHER NEW CLUB – ANOTHER PARTY
District 2-X1 is proud to celebrate the latest new club in our district to be chartered by Lions International. The Dallas Frisco Indian Centennial Lions Club has received its Centennial Charter from LCI and that means it is time for another Charter Night celebration (see pages 18 and 49) to welcome this new club into Lionism.
The Charter Night celebration will be Sunday night, May 7, 2017, at Minerva Café 3825 Spring Creek, Plano, Texas. The festivities will begin at 6:00 pm and the “serious stuff” starts at 7:00.
This is a “big deal” for our district and for Lionism. It is very important that all Lions and representatives from all clubs in 2-X1 attend the charter night and help us launch this new club on their way to accomplishing great things for our community and for Lionism. Come be a part of this important event.
