White named ‘Lion of the Year’

Lion of the Year Gary White and Lion President Miguel Benavides.

CROCKETT – Gary White was selected as the Lion of the Year for 2021-2022 for the Piney Woods Lions Club. In addition to doing an exceptional job as the club treasurer, White has been instrumental with the East Texas Food Bank (ETFB) Produce Distribution events.

He completed additional training to be a forklift operator and took on extra duties that were not required of him during the distributions. In addition, Gary applied to the Texas Lions Foundation for a grant to help those in Houston County that were affected by the tornado.

This resulted in $3,000 that was distributed through Standing with Crockett to those in need. He faithfully attends club meetings each month and participated in numerous club events.

White demonstrates Lionism every day and for this he is the club’s Lion of the Year.
