It is a sad day when a Lions Club folds. Last month, after 68 years as a Club, the Yorktown Lions Club in Indiana, which was down to five members, suspended operations.
The Easton Lions Club is a massive Club. We have 171 members entering the 2022-2023 Lionistic Year. We are huge. In membership… in fundraising… in heart… in Lions Clubs International! (We were named best Club in the WORLD in 2008!) But our Club is just one of 48,000 in the world. (Yes, we were named best out of 48,000+!)
Our Club belongs to Multi-District 33 which makes up the state of Massachusetts. In that District we belong to District 33S which is one of 5 districts in the state.

Our very own Dan Ferguson was working down in Louisiana last September to work on Hurricane Ida for an Electric Company restoring power. Crews came from all over the country. They were there for 6 weeks. It was over 100 degrees most days! Dan snapped this photo to share!

Remember…
From Lions Clubs International:
“When caring people join together, roll up their sleeves and take action to make their community better, it’s a beautiful thing—and an incredible feeling for everyone involved. That’s Lions. Being a Lion is about leading by example, building relationships and improving the world through kindness. It’s 1.4 million caring men and women serving together so they can make a lasting impact and change more lives.
“Whenever a Lions Club gets together, problems get smaller and communities get better. That’s because we help where help is needed – in our own communities and around the world – with unmatched integrity and energy.”
