Immediate Past President Karen Udell Parker accepted the award for “Outstanding Club” in the Region for 2018-19.  Only four clubs in the District received such awards for this past Lions year.

The weather was good, the crowds turned out, and YOU helped the Fairfax Lions raise money for our charity programs. EVERY penny we raise goes directly to charity – you can see the various programs we support on this web page.

If you would like to know more about who we are, what we do, and how we help others in our community, come to one of our dinner meetings. We will be happy to include you in our service programs! It’s GREAT TO BE A LION!

The Fairfax Lions Club completed a vision screening event at the Main Street Child Development Center in Fairfax on Oct 7.  Fifty pre-school children age 3 to 5 were screened, and ten were referred for a complete eye exam.  One of the referrals could not be screened after four failed attempts because the boy’s pupils were too small.  A 20% referral rate is quite high for pre-school children.  It is a privilege to be able to help identify possible vision problems in young persons.
