Another message from Paul Buckley President of the Seekonk Lions Club

Thanks for taking the time for reviewing this informative article. First, I would like to thank those who contacted me on my first scribe about the Seekonk Lions Club. Nice positive stuff! For this edition, I would like to talk about a few more things…please.

As some of you have heard, one of our longtime members has just recently passed away. Neal Abelson was a member of the Seekonk club for 35 years. There was a jam packed gathering of friends and colleagues at the Seekonk Congregational Church where Neal worshipped. Obviously, Neal touched many lives. A beautiful ceremony. It was a sight to see and an evening I will never forget.

Ahead on our agenda for October, we have our annual Octoberfest @ Chris Gasbarro’s Fine Wine and Spirits Seekonk on October 17th, 2024, 5-7:30pm (see ad on these wonderful pages). What a deal this is! For $10, you can come and sample the latest offerings from Sam Adams brewery and their friends in the adult beverage world. There is some authentic food from Morin’s in Attleboro. I personally love the purple sour kraut. Notwithstanding, we have a raffle of some cool beverage company garb that can be worth big bucks. A few years back we auctioned off a bicycle! I hope to see you all there!

During the months ahead, I would like to do a small spotlight on some of our current members. I figure, if I can get your interest to know our members, you may be enticed to come to a meeting. You may say, “Hey, I know that fellow and want to talk to him”. On the other hand, you do not know them, but sounds like a person I would like to meet. Any who, my first profile this month will be Keith Rondeau.

Keith has lived in Seekonk for 34 years. For 26 years, he has been a member of the Seekonk Lions Club. Get this... Keith has been president for three terms (term is two years), participating on the Board of Directors for twenty years, a past Mass Lions zone chair, contributing to many Seekonk Lion Committees while serving the town on the Zoning Board of Appeals for 21 years, three years as chair. Where can I get a few more of these guys, err people?

Our first full membership meeting for the year will be at Ledgemont Country Club 131 Brown Ave in Seekonk October 24, 2024 @7pm. Like to stop in and see what we do? Give me a call, or send me an email and meet the membership and have a meal on me.
