This year the Club will be recognizing three Lions Club Members for Lifetime Service Awards for their contributions to raising funds for our all volunteer free Ambulance Service and the community at large. The Awardees are John Funchion, Barbara Tracey, and Mary Ann McGourty. Assisting with the awards is First Selectman Sue Dyer.
The Norfolk Lions Club was organized in the 1950s as an entity through which a volunteer ambulance service could be established and maintained. To this day, providing excellent emergency medical service to Norfolk and its surrounding towns remains the main focus of the club.
In Norfolk, we contribute to community projects, provide funds for eye examinations and glasses for children unable to afford them, for Project Graduation (a drug and alcohol free celebration for Regional #7 high school seniors), and for scholarships for graduating Norfolk students. We also sponsor an Ambulance Explorer Group (for dedicated teenagers who train with the ambulance volunteers and respond to calls), send two or more high school students to spend a day at the UN,
lend medical equipment to needy residents, and provide the flags that are given out at the Norfolk Memorial Day parade.
The International Lions mission emphasizes research and aid for people with vision problems throughout the world. The Norfolk Lions Club supports those international efforts and, here in our state, contributes to the Connecticut Lions Research Fund, Diabetes Awareness, Fidelco
Guide Dog Foundation, and Lions Low Vision Centers.
The Lions Club of Norfolk is a 501(c)3 organization under the Internal Revenue Code, and, as such, contributions made to it are tax deductible.
