An update from the Seekonk Lions Club

Hello everybody. These past few months in 2021 have been an exciting time for the members of the Seekonk Lions Club. Breaking out after the Covid lockdown, we were up and running in April with the 9th Annual Doug Allan memorial fishing Tournament having 70 contestants battle it out at the Old Grist Mill Pond.

In May, The Seekonk Lions teamed up with the East Providence/Seekonk Rotary Club and held our 29th annual golf tournament at Wannamoisett Country Club in Rumford RI. It was a beautiful day as thousands of dollars were raised for each organization.

The Lions also ran a successful membership drive welcoming individuals from our local area willing to volunteer their time to the Lion motto that “WE SERVE” raising money for noble causes in our community.

Last but not least, June’s annual meeting brought in a new set of officers, the swearing in of our newest members, and a $15,000 donation presented by president Gary Sagar to District Governor Sandra Fife to the Mass Lions Eye Research Fund. Not many clubs were able to accomplish this and DG Fife was most grateful!

Looking ahead, the Seekonk Lions club will be bringing back our world famous clam boils in September. Plans are in place for an Octoberfest fundraiser! All this with our newest Facebook page! So, enjoy the summer and we look forward to seeing our old and new friends working together for a successful Lionistic year at the Seekonk Lions Club!
