Fairfax Lions were proud to have Fairfax HS students perform service hours along side Lions at the October 11 “Fall Festival.” The Lions food booth raises funds for our community charity programs.

Fairfax Lions shout out to our first customers of the day – our SAME FIRST CUSTOMERS in 2024!

At the FX Lions dinner meeting on October 7th, 1VP Jim led us in a game of Lions Jeopardy. Five categories, with five clues in each. Each clue had something to do with “lions” – either the live animal type, of the service club type. Prizes were halloween candy.

All had a fun time, and lots of folks stocked up on Halloween candy!

2nd Vice District Governor Greg brought Fairfax Lions a “S2L” message: Those with a passion for SERVICE (the “S”) are great candidates to become LIONS (the first “L”) , and will become great Lion LEADERS (the second “L”). Greg emphasized the LCI theme “Serve to Lead, and Lead to Serve,” and the new Lions service priority: Mental Health.

It was a great pleasure to welcome a guest, Karla (whose dad had been a Lion for 50 years)…the photo shows Karla picking the winning ticket for the 50-50 drawing.

Finally, on behalf of the District Governor, Greg gave the DG’s award to the Fairfax Lions Club president, to present to a club member.

Fairfax Lions Club held our Aug 19 dinner meeting at Foster’s Grille in Vienna. Several Fairfax Lions were members of the former Vienna Lions Club, and often met at Foster’s Grille.

Fairfax Lions welcomed guest Chantana, a local Fairfax optometrist who is interested in working with our vision screening program.
