Baytown Lions Club History

The Tri-Cities Lions Club, which later became the Baytown Lions Club with the consolidation of the three cities of Goose Creek, Baytown, and Pelly was organized on September 28, 1928 in a meeting at the old Grace Methodist Church. W. R. Smith, later Superintendent of Schools, was named the first club president. E. W. Bruce, then Principal of Anson Jones School, was named secretary-treasurer. The Charter was presented to the club at a dinner meeting at the Humble Dormitory on October 23, 1928. There were 46 charter members of the club.

The first luncheon meetings were held in the dining room of Grace Methodist Church. For awhile, the meetings were held at the cafeteria of Robert E. Lee High School. In September 1931, the club moved back to Grace Methodist Church. The club has since meet at Wyatt's Cafeteria, Ryan's Family Steak House, Golden Corral Restaurant and now at the VFW Hall.

Ninty-five individual Lions have served as President of the club.

The Baytown Lions Club has been active in advancing Lionism and has sponsored sixteen new Lions Clubs.
