This evening, The Concord Lions Club celebrated one of its most successful years yet with the highest number of hours in recent years dedicated to making our Concord community stronger than ever.
Two of the four scholarship winners (of twenty nine applicants) were honored with dinner at The Red Blazer Restaurant. Congratulations again to our 2026 scholarship recipients: Maggie Hall, Ava Todd, Lyric Picard, and Hannah Verville. We were pleased to welcome Ava and Lyric, along with their parents, and to recognize the accomplishments of all four recipients. We wish each of them continued success.
We remembered the countless events in which we have served the community from 2025-2026;
1. Eye screenings to children and adults.
2. Donated time at Abbott Downing bike event.
3. 32 raised garden beds donated to Concord Families, dirt and seeds included.
4. Trash cleanup x2 in the year (26 bags this month).
5. Donations to Christ the King food pantry, The Friends Program, Friends of Forgotten Children, ARC, Best Buddies, A Place For Everyone, and countless other local charities, along with the Payson Center for wellness supplies (not otherwise funded).
6. WindowDressers, in which we volunteered and built heat saving window inserts for those in need sealing their windows for the cold.
7. Private donation to an individual who could not afford a wheelchair lift to their bedroom.
And so much more.
We serve. We lift others up. With a loyal, proud and kindhearted roar.
THANK YOU to those volunteers who serve with us, and the community members who do the work that we fund. You make our community strong, beautiful, and worth living in. 🦁
