Comal County honors New Braunfels Lions Club on 100 years of service

The Comal County Commissioners Court celebrated a significant milestone during its recent meeting on March 13, 2025, by officially recognizing the New Braunfels New Lions Club for its centennial anniversary. The proclamation highlighted the club's century-long commitment to community service, leadership, and philanthropy, marking its establishment on April 10, 1925.

The New Braunfels New Lions Club, part of Lions Club International—the world's largest service club organization—has made a profound impact in the local area. With over 1.4 million members globally, the organization focuses on five core pillars: vision, hunger, diabetes, childhood cancer, and the environment. The local club has not only supported these initiatives but has also provided disaster relief, youth programs, and humanitarian aid.

Throughout its history, the New Braunfels New Lions Club has sponsored the formation of 25 additional Lions Clubs across Central Texas, furthering its mission of service. The club has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to local causes and has been actively involved in community events such as the Comal County Fair and Wurstfest. Their efforts include conducting tens of thousands of vision screenings in schools and donating thousands of eyeglasses to residents in need.

The proclamation was unanimously approved by the commissioners, with a motion from Commissioner Leacock and a second from Commissioner Kronover. Following the vote, the court also acknowledged an official certificate from the Comal County Sheriff, marking the club's enduring legacy and commitment to the community.

This recognition not only honors the New Braunfels New Lions Club's past achievements but also reinforces its ongoing role in fostering civic engagement and philanthropy in Comal County. As the club prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary on April 10, 2025, the community looks forward to its continued contributions and leadership in the years to come.
