In addition to some individual club members providing help, the Fort Worth Southwest Lions Club then purchased a new computer so that they can learn English better and communicate with family and friends back in Bosnia. After a short business meeting, we have a guest speaker or an informative program from the community. The third Monday of each month is a board meeting. Meetings are not held on Mondays that are holidays. Membership is open to all persons 18 years and older, living or working in or around Fort Worth, Texas.
Prospective members are welcome at all meetings.
After meeting weekly at a number of places and seeing a need for a permanent meeting place, the Club, in 1961, constructed its own building which still stands on Wellview Street. Many man-hours of the member labor were required for the building upkeep and for the projects that were necessary to raise money for the building payments. It was a struggle. The Club decided that the effort needed to sustain the building could be put to a much more worthwhile use - helping the Community and less fortunate people. Again, after meeting at a number of places the Club decided in 1966, to move to the Colonial cafeteria in Wedgewood where it was felt that the Community could be better served.
