West Brownsville Lions Club

The West Brownsville Lions Club is dedicated to serving our community. Today, we held a mini cleanup across from the HEB at Boca Chica and Paredes Line Road. We found all kinds of plastic bags scattered in the grass, and many were already breaking down into the soil. By the end, we filled a whole green dumpster with trash.
Even though we only managed to pick up about a quarter of the trash, the West Brownsville Lions still made a real difference today. Every bit helps, since that trash would have broken down into even smaller pieces. Thank you to every Lion who came out and helped make a difference!

Past District Governor Joe Ponce from the Brownsville Border Lions Club and our District 2-A3 Secretary, Martha Cramer from the West Brownsville Lions Club, took part in Operation Border Health. Over two days, they helped screen 380 clients. They worked with doctors, nurses from the Texas National Guard, and a chaplain from North Texas during the event.

Taking part in this operation shows how important it is for us to get involved in service projects. We also met a fellow Lion from Bangladesh, who was very excited to connect with other Lions.
