2012 Annual Golf Tourney Aug. 20
The Merrimack Lions Club, in association with Gateway Community Services, is excited to announce our 10th Annual Merrimack Lions Charity Golf Tournament to be held this year on Monday, August 20, 2012 at the Souhegan Golf Club in Amherst, NH. The Merrimack Lions golf tournament has been successful the past 9 years, but we are in the position where requests for services are at record levels. Golfer can help by registering to play for a cost of $100 per golfer and $400 per team and includes green fees, cart, BBQ, welcome gift bag, and prizes. Businesses can help by sponsoring the tournament. For more information golfers and sponsors can call Frank Dichiara at 424-3381 or email us at merrimacklions@gmail.com.

Lion Helen Williams reports that she just dropped off another 345 pairs of eyeglasses to LensCrafters! This brings the total number of glasses to 794 collected by the Merrimack Lions in 2011 for the Lions Eyeglass Recycling Program! These glasses will now journey to a regional Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center where they will be cleaned, sorted and packaged by prescription strength, and distributed to one of the over 150 million needy people worldwide.
The Merrimack Lions would like to thank the Merrimack Library, Florence's Restaurant, Merrimack Vision Care, and Dr. Ron Douville's Optometry Office for letting us put collection boxes at their locations. Please help us collect over 800 pairs of glasses in the upcoming year! (Top)
