The North Austin Lions Club was chartered in 1948 by the Downtown Austin Lions club. This is one of the original founders clubs that was established around the same time as the first Lions Club in Chicago IL in 1917. The Downtown Austin Lions Club is still in operation since that time. We were the first club to spin off from the Downtown Austin Lions Club. There were about 45 charter members who started the North Austin Lions Club. Our first President was Bill Williams II. He was the Austin City Manager back during his term as President of the club One of our early projects was the building and maintaining of a little league club in Austin. We had a field and club house located around 38th St. and West Ave. The land was donated to our club for a $1.00 by Matilda Shipe We traded the original land to a developer for our new location at 1103 Justin Ln.
