We want to Thank everyone who supported us during the year.

An Installation of Officers was held on June 13th at Stone Park to begin our Lionistic Year of 2022 – 2023. Andrea Reine-Wales was installed as our President. 

A special Thank You to outgoing President Eleanor “Ellie” Torelli.

Here are just a few things your donations helped; it provided a seedling tree to each 4th grader so they could plant it and watch it grow. Your donations provided a scholarship to a graduating senior from Ashland High School (Justin O’Brien) and one to a Keefe Tech graduating senior (Katie Santiago). We donated to the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research (to fight preventable blindness).

Our annual Duck Race was held on August 26th at the Corner Spot. Congratulations to all the winners!

We will be celebrating White Cane Day in September with a Toll Road.

Club members plan on being at the Ashland Farmers Market on October 1st, with information on joining the Lions. Don’t forget to bring your change, as we’ll be collecting ‘Pennies for the Blind.’ 

Do you have any used eyeglasses hanging around? We’ll take them! Please bring them to the Police Substation (located next to Nick Pizza on Main St.), Market Basket (Pond St. / Rte.126), or the Town Hall on Main Street. 

Looking to get involved with a fun, low-pressure group of service-oriented folks - that’s us! New members are always welcome! If you’d like to learn more about the Lions and our club, please contact VP Lion Ed at [email protected] or Lion Alexis at [email protected].

We hope you enjoyed the summer.
