Welcome to the Abington Massachusetts Lions Club web site.  *WARNING* now that you have found this site, you will start to ask yourself, "Why haven't I joined the Lions yet?"

             Multiple District 33S Eye Mobile in Abington on April 28th 2012 for free health screenings!

                                              do good..... be a lion

Saturday April 28th 2012 was a very busy day in Abington Ma.  As the townsfolk came out to vote, the library was holding its annual book sale, SAGE was spearheading a townwide cleanup day, and the Abington Lions had a special surprise for everyone.  Not only were we selling hot dogs outside of the polling place like we do every election day, but we were also very busy being trained in the morning on how to use all the delicate equipment in the eye mobile.  With the help of Lion Ray from the Attleboro triboro Community Lions, we trained over 15 Lions on the proper method of testing people.  After an awe inspiring presentation from our friends at the Talking Information Center (www.ticnetwork.org) we opened the doors to the public. 

The rest of the afternoon was spent doing free health screenings for anyone who came by.  We also referred some of those people to their own physicians.   It is a great feeling to think that any one of them may have had their life saved by our humble efforts!! 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Sometimes it is exhausting "doing good", but it always makes us sleep good at night!                                                            PDG Lion Wayne Smith and Cub Lion Joe Coughlin relaxing after a busy stretch of screenings.

Who are the Lions?  We are the Lions.  You are the Lions!  Over 1.3 Million people are Lions from over 200 countries worldwide.  The Lions are the largest service organization in the world.  There is a little cub Lion inside you just roaring to be let out.  Please, let your little Lion out to play for awhile and see just how powerful he can become.
