On Friday, July 31st a number of Killingworth Lions attended the Celebration of Life of Tom Hogarty. Tom was an amazing individual who was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and Killingworth Lion. During his time with Lions he was awarded Lion of the Year, District Governor Award and Ambassador of Sight. Tom was invaluable member of the club who never shied-away from any project that the Lions needed help. He was the lead Lion responsible for tent and chair rentals hauling the trailer to many locations, volunteered at the Durham Fair, pumpkin carving event at Parmelee Farm and helping with parking at these major Lions events. He always made time to serve his community, friends and family.

"Our hearts are saddened by the loss of our brother Lion Tom, but we are grateful to him and his family for sharing his great compassion and energy with us. Lion Tom displayed a concern for his community and for other people that is the very essence of Lionism. He worked long and hard to create the atmosphere of service and fellowship that makes us all proud to be part of this great International Organization." Words from Lions International

May you rest in peace our good friend.

This past Sunday the Killingworth and Haddam Lions hosted an amazing concert performed by the US Coast Guard Band. The concert was held on the beautiful grounds of Parmelee Farm where community members, their families and friends gathered to listen to patriotic medleys, tribute theme pieces recognizing our veterans and their families from near and far. The day was perfect and the Lions were honored to host this incredibly talented group of musicians. Many thanks to all the Lions, their partners in service who made this all possible preparing for this major event in Killingworth. Chief Warrant Officer Jeffrey A. Spenner (Conductor) remarked that Parmelee Farm is their most favorite location to perform. It's estimated that 800 people attended this performance and we are hoping that they will return next year.

In recognition of Earth Day, residents of Killingworth are invited to help make a difference at the upcoming Community Cleanup Day Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 9AM to Noon. Everyone’s welcome!

The event is centered just outside the Killingworth Transfer Station at Recycle Way, where volunteers can gather supplies and connect with fellow community members before heading out to beautify roadways, parks, and shared spaces. The Killingworth Lions will provide free gloves, sturdy trash bags, beverages, and snacks to ensure participants have everything they need. Lions can assist participants with getting filled bags into the Compactor site too.

Adding to the spirit of service, local Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts will again be actively participating, and demonstrating their commitment to community stewardship & environmental responsibility. Their involvement highlights the importance of engaging youth in meaningful service projects.

“This is a great opportunity for neighbors to come together, meet one another, and take collective action to keep Killingworth clean and welcoming” and continued, “Even a few hours of volunteering can have a lasting impact” Lion President Dave Beaudette shared.

Community members of all ages are encouraged to participate, whether individually, with family, or as part of a group. Participants are advised to wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. For more information or to get involved, please contact the Killingworth Lions at [email protected]

This Community Cleanup Day is part of Lions International’s Environmental "Week of Service" (April 18–26). Lions around the world have been mobilizing to protect the environment, promote sustainability, and strengthen communities. The Killingworth event reflects this broader mission—a global movement of service dedicated to caring for our planet.

Note: No rain in forecast so "We're On!"

And...Remember Saturday is also Drug Takeback Day and the Killingworth Family Pharmacy is hosting on Saturday with YFS & Troop F! Please check your home for expired or unused drugs (pet scripts too!).
