“There are many different ways to become involved in Lewisville as a citizen. You don’t necessarily have to serve on city boards. Start by participating any of the wide variety of civic activities and organizations. There are literally hundreds of opportunities. In the process, you will get to know Lewisville better. Discover how much our city has to offer you by offering your time to our city as a volunteer.”
