Youth Speech Contest 2010
The Lions Club Youth Speech Competition on October 27 was an inspiring event. Three contestants competed, speaking on what three things they would do if they were President of the United States. The judges had a tough job, but ultimately Terrence Sinnott (far right in photo) was the winner, with Anne Smith second and Joshua Bardwell third. Click here for a PhotoShow.

Terrence will advance to the district level and proceed to the zone and state championships if he continues to win. Special thanks to PKL Helene Rose for chairing this event and to the three judges, Patricia Jamilkowski, Sandy Hering, and Sue Zartman, who volunteered their time.

LION OF THE YEAR 2010

Lion Janet Rego was voted Lion of the Year by her peers, a well deserved honor. Since joining the Lions Club six years ago, Janet has chaired the senior dinner yearly, hosted Board of Directors meetings at her home, managed the food lines at Harbor Days and is chairperson of the very successful Pennies for Sight canister program. When you see one of the Pennies for Sight canister around town, it was probably placed there by Lion Janet Rego; so give generously, all proceeds go to Mass. Lions Eye Research.

Dinner Cabaret a great success!
The dinner and cabaret-style entertainment at the Knights of Columbus Hall on March 20 drew nearly 100 people. The bufffet-style dinner by Panino's was delicious and the entertainment was superb.

Thanks to Maritime International who sponsored the evening, we were welcomed at the Ocean Explorium on Union Street in New Bedford for a special tour of the facility.
