For over three decades, Lions clubs around the globe have sponsored this very special art contest in schools.  Creating peace posters gives children everywhere the chance to express their visions of peace and inspire the world through art and creativity.

Congratulations to Audrey Nagle (8th grade, Rocky Run Middle School) for submitting this year’s winning Peace Poster, sponsored by Fairfax Lions Club. Her poster:

Fairfax Lions thank several community partners for helping make possible the December fruit sale!

They include:

Craig Van Lines – for full size trailer to hold fruit to be sold https://craigvanlines.com

Fairfax City Public Works – Street Division –  for providing safety traffic barriers (and sand bags) https://www.fairfaxva.gov/government/public-works/streets-division

Dominion Development Company (c/o Lann Companies) – for use of their parking lot https://www.lann.com/about/

Sully Station Community Association – for advertising to the association members https://sullystation.org/cgi-bin/index.pl

On November 22, we presented 30 (up from 25 last year) Thanksgiving food baskets to Main Street Child Development Center – our partner in providing holiday food to deserving neighbors in Fairfax City. 

It is a pleasure to help others with basic food needs. Fairfax Lions Serve!

Fairfax Lions Citrus Sale begins Thursday, Nov 18^th (9am-4pm) and runs until Sunday, Nov 21 (or when sold out). Sales Trailer: 3251 Old Lee Highway, Fairfax, VA 22030

Preorder at: https://fairfaxlions.square.site/s/order

Orders are VERY brisk; to ensure we have fruit for you – preorder your purchase and schedule a pickup time!

We operate a socially distanced and contact free sale. Customers will not need to exit their vehicles. Orders will be taken and paid-for as you enter the sale lines; Lion volunteers will load your vehicle as you drive forward (much like a fast-food take-out line). Credit Cards, mobile payments, checks accepted. Credit cards preferred. If you must pay by cash please have exact change for your purchases.

See prices below. We sell full & half boxes ONLY of fruit direct from FL groves; we do not offer smaller quantities to avoid direct handling of fruit.

The preorder system allows us to spread pick-ups across Thursday, Friday, and Saturday – at a time you select – to avoid long lines. To ensure we have the fruit you want, pre-order NOW and schedule your pickup at https://fairfaxlions.square.site/s/order

Pre-order prices include full-box discount. You may sign up for personal notification of all fruit sales, at: https://www.fairfaxlions.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=46&action=edit

Fairfax Lions Club was recently recognized for excellence, by our District Lions organization. Fairfax Lions Club is a consistently high-performing Club – we welcome persons from all walks of life to consider joining us to serve our community.

Ms Margaret Anthony, of the Annandale Toastmasters Club, spoke at the August 17th meeting of Fairfax Lions Club. Toastmasters International teaches public speaking and leadership skills through a worldwide network of clubs like Annandale Toastmasters Club.

Margaret challenged Lions to give a 1-2 minute impromptu talk on their favorite movie, vacation, TV show, country, or public figure. It was fun, and illustrated the importance of learning and practicing public speaking.
