This has been a year of uncertainty and change in our way of life. It has affected us all, some more than others. The Lions Club has a long-standing fundraising tradition that provides needed services in our community. These include: 1) Eyesight screening in schools to detect and refer students for eyeglasses while providing financial assistance for many, 2) Winter clothing drive for children and adults to help with coats, hats, and mittens, 3) Scholarships for Hopkinton High School students, 4) Support for Got Lunch and Senior Lunch, and 5) Support for Northeast Deaf and Hard of Hearing and Future in Sight. With our ability to sponsor functions that support these services dramatically limited, this year we are offering another way you can contribute to the work we do. To kick off the upcoming holiday season we are asking for donations of $15 – or more if you choose – for a Be Kind, Give Thanks sign to place on your lawn or at your business. These will be available at the Christmas tree sale and Food Drive for the Hopkinton Food Pantry. You also can contact Marge Doscher at 603-496-8388 or email erbuddy@comcast.net to order a sign and arrange for payment and delivery or pickup. On behalf of all Lions, we thank you for your generous and ongoing support. The Lions Club is always looking for new members.
