Chase Luce

It is a pleasure and an honor to serve as the 101st president of the Lufkin Host Lion’s Club. I started with the Lion’s Club 10 years ago and served in multiple capacities prior to presidency, such as : tail twister, rodeo board member, Lions Board member and rodeo program chairman.

I have made countless friends over the years through the lions club because we come together for the common goal of serving our great community of Lufkin.
We inherited a great club from those that came before us and paved the way in the early years of projects such as the Z&OO railroad train and the Angelina Benefit Rodeo, “ The greatest show on dirt.”

2020 and 2021 has been tough on several of the community clubs and Lions Clubs in other areas because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Lufkin Host Lions Club has felt the pains of the pandemic, but still continue to support our community as effectively as possible.

The Z&OO Train has become a vital part of the service to our community as well. It began as a dream of one of our members and has turned into a major fundraiser for the club. Children see the train at the zoo and it immediately puts a smile on their face. To see and hear how many memories are made while riding the train and knowing that we make that possible, is an amazing feeling of pride and joy. With that comes responsibility, as well.
