Thinking Outside of the Box

The East Hampton Lions love doing things for Valentine's Day. It was too cold for Cupid to make an appearance like he did last year and with special diets we didn't want to give out chocolates.

Three Lions brought some ‘love’ to our local convalescent home, Cobalt Lodge for an hour.

Lions Mary and Ted Krogh provided the two baby pygmy goats and white baby lamb, Sarah from their Circle K Farm in East Hampton. Lion Don Grise from the Montville Lions also took all of the photos.

 

The photo to the left is of Lion Mary Krogh holding a white and black baby goat for a woman to gently pet.

A Thanksgiving From the Heart

Members of the East Hampton Lions along with other volunteers gave Thanksgiving a special meaning for community families that would have gone without a nice meal for Thanksgiving Day.

The East Hampton Lions in conjunction with their local restaurant, The Dublin delivered 50 full turkey dinners to 2 senior housing complexes along with 6 other families in town. The turkeys were part of a Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) Community Impact Grant.

Included in the meals were homemade apple and pumpkin pies and our Belltown Leos baked cookies to be included in the meals.

In total 120 people were served these special meals made and given with kindness and love from the heart.

The photo above from Left to right are East Hampton Lions First Vice President, Allen Guiot, Tent/Eyeglass Chairman, Tom Denman, lion Cindy Pasternak, and President, Mary Krogh.

The photo above is of one of three vans packed with hearty Thanksgiving meals for community families.

We thank everyone who assisted in making this event so successful. We hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.
