BRICK LIONS CLUB CELEBRATES
61 YEARS OF SERVICE
The Brick Lions Club celebrated its 61st anniversary on November 11, 2009 at Woodlake Country Club by holding it’s annual Charity Night Dinner. The Lions honored organizations that support the needs of the visually or hearing impaired and the youth of the community. The organizations recognized for their service included the Katzenbach School for the Deaf, The Brick Dare Program, the New Jersey Eyeglass Recycling Center, the Eye Bank of Delaware Valley, the Eye Bank of NJ, the Lions Eye Research Foundation, Camp Marcella for the Blind and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
According to Donna Dowd, Club President, “We are proud to support these organizations for all that they do to help others. Lions International has a long history of serving the community and supporting the needs of the visually and hearing impaired. We are very proud of our club’s 61 years of service to the Brick community. The Brick Lions club members thank everyone who contributes to this important work. You are truly helping Lions make a difference in our community.”
Since the club’s chartering in 1948, its members have worked on a variety of projects in the local community, such as eyeglass recycling and providing eye exams and glasses for the needy. During it’s 61 years of service the Lions fund raising efforts have changed over the years. During the 50s & 60s funds were raised through youth dances and dinners at it hall on Lions Way. In the 70s & 80s they jointly ran the Octoberfest with the Kiwanis Club. After Octoberfest ran its course, the Lions moved on to selling funnel cakes at local festivals including Founders Day and Summerfest. In 90s they ran sanctioned Jet Ski races at Windward Beach in Brick. Proceeds from these fundraising events have gone to providing scholarships to high school students in Brick Township, donations to local charitable organizations, and aid to organizations that help the visually or hearing impaired. The Club recently held it’s second annual Harold Handchen Memorial Golf outing to raise funds for its scholarship program.
