Rehoboth Anawan Lions News

The Rehoboth Anawan Lions recently held its meeting at the home of Elaine Ferreira and where we planned to take care of functions that we always do at this time of the year.

We recently held a spaghetti supper at the Seekonk Rod and Gun Club which was a great success. We are very lucky to have members who share in the preparation of the meals and provide the help needed to serve. We can’t forget those who bought tickets and always support us in all our endeavors. Once again to our friends who support us in all our undertakings Thank You! We could not be as successful as we are without you.

Our Secretary Sue Nokes was presented with the Silver Centennial pin as part of the centennial awards program.. This was a well-deserved award and we congratulate her.

The Spot Camera came to the Palmer River School, D.L. Beckwith School and to the Pre Schoolers at the DR high school. This was organized by Mike Salois from the Rehoboth Lions club and Karen Salois from the Rehoboth Anawan Lions club. All members who went to the schools were trained in the camera use; CORI checked as well and scheduled the volunteers, nurses and students for a flawless event. There were 557 students at Palmer River, D.L. Beckwith had 271 screenings and this was all done so quickly that the schools were amazed and the nurses at the schools we so pleased that such a camera existed and saved them so much time. We were happy to be able to do such an event through the Lions clubs who gave us the use of the camera and also a big Thank You to Mike and Karen and all the volunteers who took the time to train in the use of the camera. That’s why we have the motto We Serve!

On October 21 we held our White Cane Day collection for Massachusetts Lions Eye Research at the Dunkin Donuts and we would like to thank all who donated to such a good cause. It was a very successful event and without your support we would not always reach our goal; thank you all

We will be judging our clubs Peace Poster contest for a winner who will be representing our club. Good luck to all those who entered and we will be letting you know the outcome of the finalization of the event.....good luck to all who participated and to the art teachers who worked with the students to enter the program thank you.

Once again I would like to say Thank You to all on behalf of the Rehoboth Anawan Lions club for all your support in all our endeavors. Remember our motto We Serve and indeed we do. See you next month!
