Rehoboth Lions Club News Update

The Rehoboth Lions Club is proud to announce a generous donation of $1,000 to hurricane relief efforts, underscoring our commitment to supporting those in need during times of crisis. This contribution will directly aid in providing much-needed resources to families and communities in the Asheville, NC area affected by the recent storms. The funds were driven down in the truck driven by Steve Garran, a district Lions executive from Eastham with a load of much needed essential items on October 17th. We thank all our members and supporters for their continued generosity.

In another exciting development, the Lions Club recently partnered with the Palmer River Elementary School to conduct vision screenings for 160 students. Using a Lions Club SPOT camera, the testing, which took place November 1st, provided an invaluable service, helping to identify potential vision problems and ensuring that students have the opportunity to thrive in the classroom. We are grateful for the cooperation of the school nurse, staff and for the Rehoboth Lions volunteers who made this event a success.

Looking ahead, we are excited to announce several upcoming events, including our regular clam boils (which occur seven times each year), current activity in our community medical equipment loan program, and an update on our ongoing success in recruiting new members.

Our clam boils, a key fundraiser for our club, will resume on March 5th and continue on April 2nd, May 7th and June 4th at the South Seekonk Gun Club on Reed Street in Rehoboth. Please see a Lion for tickets.

So far in 2024, the Rehoboth Lions have delivered 143 pieces of durable medical equipment to over 99 area families. Hospital Beds, walkers, wheelchairs and other equipment is available at no cost to our neighbors.

Finally, the Rehoboth Lions Club is always looking for new members to join our mission of serving the community. Over the last 60 days, we have welcomed 10 new members to the club. If you’re interested in making a difference, we encourage you to attend one of our upcoming meetings or reach out for more information. Together, we can continue to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
