President's blog

Hello Everyone,

I am fortunate enough to be president of a great not-for-profit organization comprised of dedicated volunteers. We all share a common vision of being able to use some of our precious personal time to do good deeds. As LIONS we are part of the largest service organization in the world. There are over 1.4 Million LIONS in 204 different countries.http://www.facebook.com/lionsclubs.

We organize service in four main communities: Vision, Hunger, Environment and Youth. As president I have found the LIONS to be a great source of motivation to get involved. I am proud how much our club has done in the last five months. We have screened many seniors for vision at the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, we have invited local students to enter our annual Peace Poster contest, we have honored the memory of our local Raritan NJ World War II hero John Basilone by marching this September in the annual John Basilone parade, we have provided lots of food to our local food bank. We have also met as a group many times to plan our activities and enjoy each other's company. We have already attracted many new members and raised thousands of dollars for LIONS service.

At present we are readying ourselves for a major event in our Local Bridgewater NJ Community. On November 30, 2010 we will be at the Bridgewater Senior Center providing eye screenings as well as two major surprises that we are sure the seniors will love and be touched by. I will share more about that after the event.

I hope you have enjoyed this post and the photos. A more complete compilation of our Club's activities can be found on our Facebook page. I invite to become a FRIEND.http://www.facebook.com/lionsclubs#!/pages/Bridgewater-NJ-Lions-District-16D/155295417824944
