The Corsicana Noon Lions Club honored two of its own Saturday, even as club members celebrated the group’s 90th anniversary.

Eddie Hambrick was named Lion of the Decade Saturday at the event, which took place at the Cook Center. Hambrick was chosen because of his leadership and support of the Texas Lions Camp, which offers free summer camp experiences for children with special needs.

In addition, Robert Gladney was presented with the Jack Weech Fellowship, in recognition of his contributions to Lions charities, and his continuous membership for the past 53 years.

The Corsicana Lions Club was established in 1918, a year after the national club was begun. The group’s first community service project was to pave Ninth Street from Seventh Avenue to 11th Avenue, where the hospital was then.

The Lions host the annual Col. Paul Bennett Golf Tournament, to raise money for the camp, and an annual talent show to benefit children in Navarro County.
