At our May 3 Lions Club meeting, we heard from Marcia Sheehan and Michelle Pearlstein about Horizon Day Camp in the Metro DC area. It provides summer camp and year round programming for children with cancer and their siblings – 100% free of charge. See: http://horizondaycamp.org
A key fund raiser to support Horizon Day Camp, is a “Horizon Walks” on June 12, 2022 at National Harbor. See: https://www.sunrise-walks.org/metrodc

Fairfax Lions provide financial support to Sprout, and also participate in fund raisers – such as “Sipping for Sprout” held each year at Stone Mountain Winery in Leesburg.
On April 10, several Fairfax Lions and family members enjoyed the “Sipping” event.
Fairfax Lions Club welcomes its newest member Judith Richter-Murphy. At the Club’s meeting on April 5th, Judith officially became a member of the world’s largest service organization, Lions Clubs International. Judith was familiar with the good works of Lions Clubs from her early life overseas.
