Hannah Wilson, Development and Communications Associate for Food-for-Others, gave a great talk to Fairfax Lions at their dinner meeting on August 2nd. Food-for-Others distributes food to 3000-plus families in our community every week. Learn more at: https://foodforothers.org

Lions brought non-perishable food, which Hannah happily accepted for Food For Others.

At the end of each fiscal year (in June), the Club President designates a club member whose personal effort and energy contributed significantly toward the Fairfax Lions Club mission: “We Serve.” That person is acknowledged as the Fairfax Lion of the Year. For Lions Year 2021-2022, the Fairfax Lion of the Year is Justin Haight.

Congratulations Justin, for this well deserved recognition!

On June 23, Fairfax Lions delivered children’s books to Main Street Child Development Center.  This annual service was led once again by Lion Anh-Thu Phan.  Our Club supports the mission of Fairfax’s Main Street Child Development Center, which is to provide quality early-childhood education, and support, to empower children and families, regardless of financial circumstances. Every child deserves a chance to build a strong foundation for success! https://www.mainstreetcdc.org

At the Club dinner meeting on June 21, 2022, new Officers and Board for Lions year 2022-2023 were installed.

On Saturday, 21 May, Fairfax Lions Pete Conklin, Ken Schutz, Judith Richter-Murphy, Greg and Karen DeRosa assembled for the annual road cleanup. Donuts and coffee were served first, then at 8:30am – one of the hottest days in May – Lions picked up litter and trash along Pickett Road.  Lions always have fun serving the community!
