Rehoboth Anawan Lions News

Hi, from the Anawan Lions. We have been busy the past few months providing Community Service to our local area. In December we donated 13 handmade lap blankets to the new Dana Faber facility that was built at Sturdy Hospital for patients undergoing cancer treatment. Nothing like a hug from a warm blanket! At our Christmas Party at Davenports we collected warm hats, gloves, scarves, and socks and donated them to the Dighton Police Department. Officer Julia Horton will then donate them to the Bristol County Women's Shelter. A big thank you to Sergeant Nick Baros and Chief George NIchols. Jeanne Noons and Maryann Parrella brought our donations to both areas. A BIG thank you to both!! In January we had a Twinning with the Rehoboth Men's Lions, also at Davenports. President Joe Nunes from the men's Club led the meeting. There was also a guest speaker; Chief of Police Louis DiBacco. It was a great opportunity to ask questions and get to know our Chief. Thank you Chief for attending. Our two groups also discussed joint activities for fundraisers. We will keep you posted. If you or anyone you know would be interested in donating a few hours a month to help others, meet new people, and enjoy the comradery of people all over the world please consider joining Lions. We can always use helping hands. Sincerely, Denise Thomas, Rehoboth Anawan Lions. "We Serve"
