Antrim Bennington Lions Club

Home Officers International Antrim Bennington

Welcome

The Antrim-Bennington Lions Club is a local, community service organization which is part of Lions Clubs International.

Lions Club members are men and women who strive to make a difference in their local community as well as in communities worldwide. 

 

On June 16, 2009 at our dinner meeting we had our inductions for our new members as well as the officers for the 2009/2010 year
Rod Zwirner of the Antrim Conservation Commission was our speaker at our May 5, 2009 dinner meeting. He talked about the activities of the Antrim Conservation Commission over the years and some of the issues the commission is facing now and looking toward in the future. Their activities were especially relevant to us as we work on the soon to be published Antrim Bennington Outdoor Guide. We also had the pleasure of 10 members from the Amherst Lions Club joining us for the dinner meeting.
At our last dinner meeting on March 3, 2009 Dave Kirkpatrick discussed the Teen Center in Antrim and other youth activities underway locally.
At our dinner meeting on January 6, 2009, Scott Lester,  Chief of Police of Antrim, was our guest speaker.

 

Bob Hardy received his pin for 25 years of service in the Lions Club

 

At our dinner meeting on October 7, 2008, Celeste Lunetta who is Director of Recreation for Antrim was our guest speaker.

 

 

 Our next dinner meeting at Alberto’s is April 7, 2009 – please think of joining us if you are interested in becoming a Lion.

 

We appreciate all of you that attended the BBQ we sponsored at the Antrim Home and Harvest days on September 20.  This is one of our major fund raisers and we were pleased to have served 410 dinners, another significant increase from the year before.  Look forward to the next Home and Harvest Days and attend our BBQ on September 19, 2009 and watch the fireworks after dinner.

 

We also thank you for supporting our XMAS tree sales at Tenney Farm last December and from our proceeds we were able to make a sizeable contribution to Operation Santa..
