CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF SERVICE!

On April 26, 2025 we celebrated our Club's 50 years of service. The night was shared with our members and their spouses, local Lions Clubs and other invited guests. A wonderful meal was prepared by Gallant's & Co., served by members of the community who volunteered to help make the night memorable. Pictures to come soon!
