	number of annual events and fundraisers including a first
	responders' luncheon and a golf tournament; moreover, the group has
	purchased seats for the Greenville Municipal Auditorium and benches
	for the Hunt County Fairgrounds and donated a lion fountain to
	Graham Park; and
	WHEREAS, Over the past century, the Greenville Lions Club has
	played a vital role in the community, and its members' commitment to
