AN INVITATION TO JOIN THE BETHLEHEM LIONS CLUB
The BETHLEHEM LIONS CLUB was founded in 1955.
1. The focus is on aiding the blind and hearing impaired in the community as well as worldwide. We finance these projects mainly from our Christmas Tree Sale, the annual pancake breakfast, and the sale of carwash tickets.
2. The Bethlehem Lions fund two $1000 scholarships for high school students residing in the Town of Bethlehem, including those who may attend private institutions outside the district.
3. The Bethlehem Lions fund the “File-for-Life” project of the Senior Services Office. This emergency medication record is attached to the refrigerator. See sample enclosed. We encourage you to use it or some similar device for your entire family.
4. The Bethlehem Lions sponsor the annual Senior Citizen Picnic in collaboration with the Town’s Senior Services Office.
5. The Bethlehem Lions provide support to the Lions Eye Institute in Slingerlands and aid various camps for blind and hearing-impaired children.
