Pittsville Lion's

While the Lions baseball field may be quiet right now, Pittsville Lions members have been working hard behind the scenes. After baseball season each year, Lions members tackle field improvements, repairs, winterizing, and a top-to-bottom deep cleaning of the concession stand.

These efforts may go unnoticed, but they keep the park in good condition. Come next spring, the field will be ready for another season of baseball.

We’ve all heard of phishing, but this week the Pittsville Lions learned about vishing, smishing, and quishing as well.

We were enlightened by Cori Ann Richardson, Business Development Officer with Associated Bank, in an informative presentation on fraud and scam awareness. Cori Ann also shared practical tips on recognizing common scams, safely conducting electronic transactions, and creating strong passwords to help protect personal and financial information.

In today’s digital world, staying informed is one of our best defenses. We appreciate Cori Ann's insight into safeguarding our information.

Some people talk about service. Marv Kolhbeck lives it. This week, the Pittsville Lions proudly celebrated Marv's 95th birthday with a heartfelt "Happy Birthday," honoring a man with a great commitment to serving others.

Marv has been a member of the Pittsville Lions Club for an incredible 69 years, a testament to his dedication to the Lions' mission of helping those in need and community service.

Over the years, Marv has served in leadership roles within the club, always leading with humility, compassion, and purpose. His impact has not gone unnoticed. He has received both the prestigious Melvin Jones Fellowship and the Birch-Sturm Fellowship, two of the highest honors Lions bestow upon members in recognition of outstanding leadership and community service.

Marv has been part of the vital Lions network that transports eye tissue for transplant, improving the lives of others. His willingness to answer the call and give of his time has made a profound difference far beyond Pittsville.

Marv's 95 years are marked by a lifetime of kindness, leadership, and service to others. The Pittsville Lions Club is grateful for his dedication, proud of his accomplishments, and honored to celebrate this special milestone with him.

Please join us in wishing Marv Kolhbeck a very happy 95th (belated) birthday and thanking him for nearly seven decades of extraordinary service as a Lion.

Here is the info about Legion/Lions fourth of July Celebration! Parade theme is in upper right corner! Fireworks are on the 3rd this year due to scheduling conflicts with company we use (companies that do this kind of work are few these days, so we had to be flexible). Thanks for understanding and everyone's continued support!
