Momentum in Motion: Dallas Founder Lions Spring into Service this April

We launched into April with a fantastic meeting featuring Dallas County Treasurer Pauline Medrano, who shared insights on public service, fiscal transparency, and community impact. We were also delighted to have County Commissioner Elba Garcia join us as a guest—her presence underscored the strong partnerships we’re building with Dallas leaders.

This exciting start of April comes on the heels of a powerhouse March. We joined the Waxahachie Lions for their Sleep in Heavenly Peace Build Day, supported the growing momentum of our DFW Indonesian Lions Club Branch with their successful fundraiser, and hosted exceptional programs from Dr. Mohsen Amini Salehi (creator of AI-powered SmartSight eyeglasses) and Dr. Sandi Pruitt of UTSW. We pitched in during the Reverchon Park cleanup and were recognized at the district roundtable for our achievements in service and membership recruitment. And now, April’s full calendar is keeping the momentum going!
