Salem NH Lions Club

Welcome to November everyone! The new month not only comes with a change to Daylight Standard Time. It also comes with an important date change for our Salem Lions due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Our next Salem Lions meeting will be held on THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19TH, at the usual start time of 6:30pm, and at the usual location (First Congregational Church, 15 Lawrence Road).

As usual, we welcome not only our club members, but anyone who is interested in learning more about who we are, what we do and why we love doing it as "WE SERVE".

Wishing everyone a Happy and Safe Halloween!

A great annual tradition from our friends and fellow Lions at the Hudson NH Lions Club. As they live up to the Lions motto of "WE SERVE", we can't help but ask "Can WE SERVE ourselves a slice of one of those delicious apple pies?" 😉

Way to support the community, Hudson Lions!

🍎🥧 How do the Hudson Lions serve? This week, with a little apple pie sweetness!
At their Monday meeting, club members rolled up their sleeves and assembled 50 apple pies! The pies were baked at the White Birch, boxed up, and delivered by members throughout the community—including the Hudson Fire and Police Departments, the Department of Public Works, the Rodgers Memorial Library, and Town Hall offices.
These surprise “sweet treats” were much enjoyed by their recipients. A little kindness—and a little pie—can go a long way! 🥧💛
The Hudson Lions serve the community in so many ways, always living up to their motto: “We Serve.” 🦁

As they say, "That's a wrap!" Our "Vision-aries" completed the last of our Salem-area elementary vision screenings yesterday at Baron School! And (of course), no screening visit would be complete without a stop at the nurse's office to drop off another round of snacks and supplies to the school nurse.

It was another successful screening season for all of our wonderful Lions. Thanks go to all of them for their time and efforts in showing our community another way in which "WE SERVE"!

Our Lions community are saddened to hear the news of the passing of past Club President Robert "Bob" Elliot on October 14th at the age of 94 in South Carolina. Bob was a longtime member of our Salem Lions chapter, and an active member in our community for a number of years. He also served our community as a member of the Budget Committee, as well as being a New Hampshire State Representative for a number of years.

Bob was beloved by many, including our own Lions members. His commitment to Salem truly exemplified the phrase "The Heart of a Lion". He will be missed.

More information, including details of funeral services, can be found here - https://www.douglasandjohnson.com/obituaries/robert-elliot.

Rest In Peace, Lion Bob.

On our last post, where we talked about the Fall clean up at Lions Camp Pride, you may have noticed a photo with a whole bunch of folks moving something, well, BIG. Thanks to Salem Lion Lynn, we have a few more photos to help get a better look at one of the tasks.

There is one big Adirondack chair onsite. We mean, REALLY BIG chair. And it needed to be moved under cover. And it took a team of Lions from around New Hampshire to get the job done. Lions Gina, Peter, Steve, Scott, Mike and Don, as well as Salem Lion Michelle's husband Jim (who always comes to the rescue when it comes to Camp Pride) all jumped in an made a difficult task easy.

If this isn't a perfect example of how Lions work together as a group when one Lion just isn't enough, we don't know what is! The same can be said for events like the Camp Pride clean up, where Lions from around New Hampshire come together to ensure that this camp that serves so many youths during the summer is prepared for another go-around next year. It's just one more example of how "WE SERVE".

On Saturday, Lions from across New Hampshire came together to clean up and close up Lions Camp Pride for the season. Our Salem Lions had an additional task in disassembling the current bunk beds in preparations for assembling all new bunk beds in the Spring.

As is usually the case, the effort involved came easily when performed with friends sharing a common purpose. It was great to see not only our Salem Lions, but so many other Lions we know.

Thanks to everyone involved in helping to support a major Lions cause in Camp Pride, and providing yet another example of how "WE SERVE".

Friday provided another opportunity for our Salem Lions "Vision-aries" to provide vision screenings at a local school. This time, it was the Fisk School. And as we've done at other schools, we've provided supplies and snacks to stick up the nurse's office!

One more school to go this coming week, as we complete the latest round of screenings. Thanks go to all of our Lions for assisting throughout the month of October.
