Once again, the Corning Lions Club is the major sponsor of the July 4th fireworks at the Corning Memorial stadium. The club depends on support from the public to fund this event each year. The City of Corning has made a significant donation. However, if you want the fireworks to continue, please help the club by logging in to www.Corninglionsclub.org and click on the donate button. Any amount will help defray the costs. Our members will canvass the crowd asking for donations.

The Corning Lions again led the effort to provide golfcart transportation to guests with disabilities during the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen International Racetrack. This was our 18th year assisting guests navigate the grounds of the track. Yes, the weather was sometimes challenging. However, the team was totally prepared. We met the challenge by helping many, many race fans in need, who otherwise would not be able to enjoy the experience.

The Corning Lions proudly participated in "The Hand Project". We assembled prosthetic mechanical hands to be donated to disadvantaged people in third world countries who have either lost a hand from injury or war or have a medical condition resulting in not having a hand. The hands are sent to nations like Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Congo, etc. where traffic accidents, war and physical abuse result in the loss of one or both hands. These mechanical hands literally change the life of the recipients. It takes about 2 hours to complete the assembly. The Corning Lions assembled 8 hands for the project.

Wonderful to see our "OLD" friends in this image.

Archivists have unearthed a long-lost painting depicting one of the lesser-known chapters of Lions history — the very first time the LionsofNewYorkState and the Lions Clubs of Bermuda crossed the Potomac River together, over 250 years ago, en route to their annual NYS & Bermuda Multiple District Convention in Syracuse.
Historians note the striking resemblance between the figures in this vessel and certain Lions who appear at conventions every single year. Coincidence? We think not.

History, it seems, is repeating itself — because this year's convention is happening April 17–19 in Syracuse, and if you're checking in on Thursday, there's a welcome party and social to kick things off right.

🦁 So tell us… does anyone in this painting look familiar?
