News from the Rehoboth Lions

On June 25th, the Rehoboth Lions held our annual President's Picnic, which is also when we traditionally swear in the upcoming Lion Year's officers. Our event was held by our gracious host Lion Jay Crandall and his wonderful wife Brenda - All of us thank you for the hospitality!! The threat of rain held off, and we had a wonderful ceremony led by Lion Mike Salois. Officers for the 2023-2024 year are:

President - Henry Pires
1st VP - Don Nokes
2nd VP - Arthur Almedia
Secretary - Bill Cute
Treasurer - Vinny McKenna
Tail Twister - Mike Barger
Lion Tamer - Steve Brasier

2022-2023 President Mike Barger had the distinct pleasure of honoring 2 of our members with the highest recognition given to a Lion member - The Melvin Jones award. The Melvin Jones Awards ranks with the Lions Humanitarian Award, which is the highest honor of the association given to an individual or an organization with exemplary humanitarian efforts. Our 2 honorees were Steven Brasier and Scott Lacourse. Congratulations Gentlemen!

Though July and August are traditionally "slow months" for fundraising events, Lions are busy at work behind the scenes with all the planning for this coming years events.
