Britepaths is a worthy charitable organization in Northern VA. Its mission: stabilize low-wealth working families, build resilience through financial empowerment and workforce development, and provide support for children.

In a ceremony on August 3, 2023, Lion Ken Schutz was recognized as the Fairfax Lions Club Volunteer of the Year.

The ceremony honors all volunteers of the year in. the community, and is hosted by the City of Fairfax Inter-Service Club Council (ISCC).

At the August 1st meeting, our speaker was Fairfax Lion Doug Brisson who knows a lot about the Tuskegee Airmen – also know as “The Red Tails.”

Doug told us about that group of Black military pilots (both fighter and bomber) and airmen who were trained at Tuskegee, Alabama and who went on to fight heroically in World War II. The airmen are known for six principles fundamental to their individual and group success. Doug gave out red dog tags showing the six principles.

Guests are invited at any Lions dinner meeting; just CONTACT US if you are interested.

At our Club dinner meeting on July 18, President Greg DeRosa opened a package mailed to our Post Office Box. It contained several pairs of eyeglasses, a very nice note from the donor, and a check for our charity programs. 

We take all donated eyeglasses to the Northern Virginia Eyeglass Recycling Center, where they are cleaned, inspected and packaged for distribution around the world by medical mission teams. Lions give the gift of sight! If you would like to help process donated eyeglasses, contact Fairfax Lions Club.
