Each year the outgoing President of College Station Noon selects their Lion of the Year. The award is made to the member who best exemplifies our Club’s committment to serving our community. While each President may have their own list of criteria, it always reflects service above and beyond and embodies the Lions motto “We Serve”.

For 2024-2025, Lion President Jeff Wind selected Lion Tom Haycraft to receive this prestigious award.

From Lion President Jeff Wind,

"... If you work for a long time, two things that I find are really essential, I don't really care how smart you are but I really care if you're steady and reliable. If you're steady and reliable, I can use that ... I thought through a list of names and I came across one name and I was like yeh, that's the one and I didn't think about it any more." -- Tom Haycraft
