Since its foundation in 1988, Lucan Lions Club distributed in excess of €250,000 to community causes, supporting organisations and individuals making a real difference across Lucan and beyond.
The evening also highlighted the Lions’ long-standing commitment to sight conservation. In 1925, Helen Keller challenged Lions members to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness”. Lions Clubs around the world answered that call and continue to support vision-related initiatives today.
Lucan Lions Club collects unwanted spectacles, which are transported for processing before being distributed to people in developing countries who need access to corrective eyewear. A special presentation recognised Ger Moran, whose dedication helped collect an incredible 15,000 pairs of glasses. In recognition of his outstanding contribution, she received the prestigious Melvin Jones Award, one of the highest honours within Lions Clubs International.
The club also recognised Marian O’Shea and marked her 10 years of dedicated service as Secretary of Lucan Lions Club.
👏 Congratulations to all of the award recipients, volunteers and members of Lucan Lions Club for their continued commitment to supporting local communities and helping those in need.
