Free Texas Lions Camp

Dear Parent or Guardian,
The Lions Clubs invite you to call and learn how your physically disabled child (including vision/hearing impairment, diabetes or Down’s syndrome) might qualify for a free week of Summer Camp at the Texas Lions Camp.
We’re working closely with various schools, and other organizations to identify those children who might qualify to attend a fun-filled, challenging week at our camp in Kerrville, in the heart of the beautiful Hill Country. Naturally, the Lions Clubs pay all expenses and even provide transportation.
We ask you to call one of the five people listed below, as soon as possible! You’ll get answers to your questions and an application form to use to determine eligibility. The first of eight weekly camping sessions begins June 3rd, so it is important to start the application process NOW!
The Texas Lions Camp, now in it’s 59th year, has the capacity to hold 250 campers at each weekly session. Participants (depending on their individual abilities), enjoy such things as arts, crafts, music, drama, cookouts, hiking, swimming, canoeing, horseback riding, fishing and much more. There is one counselor for every two campers, plus the camp has a fully equipped infirmary and trained medical staff. Camp graduates are so enthusiastic they often return in subsequent years, until they reach the maximum age limit. Please let us hear from you as soon as possible.

Woodhaven Scholarship Awards Program

Recognizing outstanding Eastside students

by Gary Johansen

The 15th annual Woodhaven Scholarship and Grants Program was held at Woodhaven Country Club on April 18th. Eight East Fort Worth graduating high school seniors received $1,000 scholarships to attend a four-year Texas college or university or $500 to attend a two-year school. Additional $1,000 grants were made to Texas Wesleyan University for its golf program, and to East Regional Library to fund educational needs not covered by the budget.
Since its beginning in 1998 the Woodhaven Scholarship Account has awarded over $130,000 in scholarships and grants. Woodhaven Community Development Corporation, Woodhaven Country Club, and Woodhaven Neighborhood Association host the annual Scholarship Golf Tournament to raise the funds for the program.
