New Officers Installed for 2012-2013

 

Bulverde, Texas June 7, 2012. Lion Jim Barr installed new officers for the 2012-2013 term during a ceremony at the BLC Annual Banquet on  June 7th, 2012. Over 50 members and guests attended the event at the Bulverde Senior Center. New Lion President Lewis Kreutler thanked outgoing President Joe Hamilton for his superb leadership and his efforts which strengthened the club. Newly elected BLC President Kreutler reflected on last year's accomplishments and challenged the club to continue to increase membership to enable the BLC to do more for the community. New officers are (L to R) President Lewis Kreutler, Vice President Tom Hotaling, Secretary Tim Hering, Treasurer Dave Menig, and Tail Twister Mason Burgess. 

Kerrville, Texas March 3, 2012.  Eight members of the Bulverde Lions Club traveled to Kerrville and combined their talents to build a fence at the Texas Lions Camp (TLC). This is the weekend when Bulverde Lions Club members helped prepare the TLC in Kerrville to receive the over 1600 kids with special needs during the summer. TLC provides, without charge, a camp for physically disabled, hearing/vision impaired, and diabetic children from the State of Texas, regardless of race, religion, or national origin. The programs available at the camp are designed to help campers learn to make social adjustments, become more self-confident, and develop a positive self-image. In response to the disabling polio epidemic that swept the country decades ago, the Lions of Texas conceived and constructed the Texas Lions Camp. Pictured here are Bulverde Lions (Left to Right) Jerry Steward, Joe Hamilton, Joel Selko, Bob Tennis, Jose Fernandez, Lewis Kreutler, Red Wanek, and Mark Kirchoff.

BLC Supports Friends of Matthew Wright
Bulverde, Texas Nov 10, 2011. The Bulverde Lions Club (BLC) accepted mementos of  appreciation from the “Friends of Matthew Wright Benefit” for assistance rendered during a fundraiser held October 7-8, 2011 at Anhalt Dance Hall in Spring Branch Texas. In 2009 Matthew Wright was attacked and beaten sustaining a serious brain stem injury in 2009 while breaking up a fight between a guy and girl he did not know. Matthew is now paralyzed, and cannot speak, eat, or drink. Despite two brain surgeries, comas, multiple infections, and paralysis – the Friends of Matthew Wright continue their great efforts to seek medical treatments and they are optimistic about improving his quality of life. Matt’s emotional and physical ability to take on major surgery takes strength and courage from some unknown reservoir he seems to possess. Fundraisers provide the means to continue in this struggle. Funds raised on October 7-8 will be used to defray expenses for Matthew’s medical treatment. Pictured here are (L-R) BLC President Joe Hamilton, Patti Prescott (FMW), Susan Bradley (FMW), BLC Lion George McNew, and BLC Lion Tom Hotaling.

Who We Are!

In 1917, Melvin Jones, a 38-year-old Chicago business leader, asked a simple and world-changing question – what if people put their talents to work improving their communities. Almost 100 years later, Lions Clubs International is the world's largest service club organization, with 1.35 million members in more than 46,000 clubs and countless stories of Lions acting on the same simple idea: let's improve our communities.  Lions are members of the world’s largest and most active service club organization in 206 countries carrying out the Lion's motto - "We Serve."

The Bulverde Lions Club was founded in 1969 and is classified by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(4) - Civic league and Social Welfare Organization. All funds raised by the Bulverde Lions Club from the general public are used for charitable purposes, and administrative costs are kept strictly separate and paid for by members. Funds raised by the Club are donated toward projects that benefit the local community. The Bulverde Lions Club Foundation also operates as a charity that qualifies as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) that provides scholarships and funding for medical assistance. The following is a list of some of the ways that we are able to provide assistance:

      · Scholarships to local High School Graduates
· Vision Testing for area children
· St Jude’s Ranch for Children
· Equipment funding for the local Volunteer Fire and EMS Departments
· Cub Scout Pack & Boy Scout Troop #548
· The Comal County Junior Livestock Show
· The Texas Lions Camp for Physically Challenged Children
· The Texas Lions Eye Bank
· The Bulverde Community Center
· Anhalt Hall
· Comal County Junior Livestock Show

The Bulverde Lions Club participates in a wide variety of service projects that meet the international goals of Lions Clubs International as well as the needs of the local community through its network of dedicated and selfless volunteer members of the Club.  Membership is by invitation, though individuals are rarely turned away, and meetings are conducted on a bimonthly basis.  The Bulverde Lions Club works actively throughout the year in planning and conducting their Annual Wild Game Dinner at Anhalt Hall in Spring Branch, Texas.  The Annual Wild Game Dinner serves delicious exotic food and hosts live and silent auctions consisting of dove hunts, fishing trips, premium guns and many other assorted fishing and hunting items. We are a small chapter of Lion’s doing big things within our community since 1969!

We care, and demonstrate that caring through our 
service to our Community and to our Nation - LIONS!


Thanks to all who made the 37th Annual Wild Game Dinner a success!

2012 College Scholarship Recipients

Spring Branch, Texas May 7, 2012. Five students at Smithson Valley High School each received $2000 college scholarships at an awards ceremony from Bulverde Lions Club member George McNew. Individuals selected by the Bulverde Lions Club Scholarship Committee were finalists from among 100 applications considered. The criteria used to select these deserving recipients included academic achievement, leadership, creative accomplishments, strength of character, community service and financial need.  With nearly 1.5 million members serving in 200 countries, the goal of the Lion’s Club is to establish a difference at both the national and the local levels. Offering Lions scholarships is just one way the Lions Club assists at the community level. Historically, the Lions have strongly stressed the importance of community service and strive to improve their local communities in a variety of manners. Providing Lions club scholarships to deserving youth is just one such example of the way local Lions work to provide community service. The Bulverde Lions Club Foundation operates as a charity that qualifies as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) that provides scholarships to deserving young men and women in the Bulverde Community each year. Pictured here (Left to Right) are Smithson Valley High Seniors Harleigh Hill, Travis Haecker, and Whitney Young with BLC Lion George McNew. Students not pictured are Andrea Navarro and Brittni Case. Congratulations Seniors!

Known as the “Front Porch of the Texas Hill Country,” it's no secret that Bulverde is a place where people value neighborly behavior. One local group, the Bulverde Lion's Club, exemplies that spirit through its charitable activities benefiting the St. Jude's Ranch for Children. Located 12 miles northeast of Bulverde on Ridge Creek Lane, many Bulverdians may not even know the ranch is there. But it's home to 38 children, age 5 and up – all state of Texas foster children who have been abused, neglected or abandoned.
