Rehoboth Anawan Lions Club News

The Rehoboth Anawan Lions held their meeting on August 5th to set up programs and go over some of the details for our big GATLIN Show that we held, which was a huge success. It was one that was enjoyed by all and everyone has requested that it be done again next year. We have other programs coming up so look for our news every month and see we what is on the program. Thank you for the support of the GATLIN show it’s a very enjoyable one and look forward to the new ones coming up.

In September we will be doing our white cane day collection at the Dunkin Donuts in Rehoboth at North Rehoboth and Route 44 where our monies go to Massachusetts Eye Research. Most of the work is on Research for the eyes and they have been very successful with coming up with new treatments. We go to some of our meetings and they explain what is new and what our money is helping them to come up with new treatments. We have in our District 33S an Eye Mobile which is used to go to places and do screenings. We will be having a booth at the Harvest Block Party and we will be looking forward to seeing you there. Do stop in and see us and also think about joining us as a new member. You can talk to anyone of us and learn more about what Lions do for the needy, community and whatever else comes up. Remember WE SERVE!!!!

In October we will be holding a spaghetti supper so watch for our tickets being sold.
Watch for the sales going on soon. Call our chairman Lisa Haliko for information or any member of our club.

There were a few members of our club who went to the first cabinet meeting for our District. They hold these periodically and those members who need to go are very ready to go and keep up with the District goings on and bring it back to the rest of the members. It is always something of importance that goes on and every member is made aware of it.

At the banquet for Eye Research which is the night that presentations are made to people who have been awarded plaques and the Rehoboth Anawan club was presented to last year’s President Laura Schwall for giving this year and the second was giving over 200Thousand dollars over all the years that we have been giving ,Congratulations to the Rehoboth Anawan Club it is quite an honor and it has been a lot of work for all the members.....Job well done girls. keep up the good work.

At our installation night I forgot to make the announcement of some of the major people who received some very prestigious awards. Sorry, and they were very important ones. The Melvin Jones were awarded to Nadeden Martin, Carol Grenier and Deb Pires. Congratulations to three who were very deserving and is the highest award. Next we awarded the Sight Awards to Jeanne Noons, Karen Salois, Charlene Cunha. Congratulations to all six who are very deserving for all the work they have done and will still do as time goes on. The club as you can see are always busy and do good work.

So remember that we are a busy club and now our September begins our busy time of the year and of all things remember our motto WE SERVE and indeed we do. See you next month.
