Rehoboth Anawan Lions News

Posted

The Rehoboth Anawan Lions held their meeting for the month where the visiting guest was Past District Governor Bev Dillon who brought the new acquired spot camera which was the newest acquired camera to screen eyes of students at the schools which would screen for any problems. It was unbelievable to see how it worked. There was no closeness; it was done from a distance. This acquirement is very valuable in screening. The Rehoboth Lions are looking to have a screening scheduled for next year with the Rehoboth Anawan Lions club helping with the help of the school nurses at the schools aiding in the screening. Those who would help and do any screening will be already informed fully on how it works and what they are looking for; more info to come next year. All of the members who were screened at the meeting were astonished at how it all worked and how it is an important screening for eye problems.

It was announced that we had a new member who had been inducted by PDG Kathy Amaral earlier. She is Joanne McClellan and we welcome her as a new member.

The club President Deb Pires read a thank you. Note from the food pantry for our recent donation to provide food for the community. A donation of $800 was made for a good cause. Another thing that will be in place for the Memorial Day parade is a Legacy Bench to be placed at the Veterans Memorial on Red Plain field.

Another event we will have had is our White Cane Day collecting for Massachusetts Eye Research to help with eye research that is one of the big eye projects we have for the health and prevention of blindness. We would like to thank all who donated to our cause when they donate at the Dunkin Donates in Rehoboth. It is a great and very successful event, and with your support we have always been very successful.

There will be a testimonial for the District Governor Sharon Audette of District 33S to thank her for all she has done for our District and this will be the end of another year which starts in July and ends in June just as our club's officers do. We will show our new list in next month’s reporter when we have our installation of officer’s news. They will be installed in June at the Hillside Country Club. Looking forward to another year after having had a tremendous year with our President Deb Pires who worked very hard and accomplished all the things she wanted to. Her year just flew by and she couldn't believe it, but I think everyone's year goes by too fast.

A reminder this year we will be doing The Gatlin Show again, so see Jeanne Noons for tickets or any member of the Rehoboth Anawan Lions club everyone will have tickets so just call 508-824-0534.

Remember our thank you and also remember our motto “We Serve” and indeed we do.

See you next month.
