The Barker Lions will hold their first meeting of the year on Wednedsay, beginning with a field trip to Chaffee Dairy Farm at 6:30.
The trip will be followed by a 7:30 p.m. dinner at the Lions Community Building.
Lion President Fran Costello is excited about the new year. “Our members have as much enthusiasm as did the founding members 70 years ago. For our educational component, we’ll be having speakers from various organizations at our monthly meetings. We have many service projects, including the Halloween party for elementary school students we’ve held since our founding and working with the Barker Food Pantry especially around holiday time. Our lending closet has a variety of wheelchairs, walkers and other items to help those with challenges.”
In 1927, Lions International was asked to be Helen Keller’s Knights of the Blind. The Barker Lions continues this charge by providing glasses and hearing aids for those in our community who may not be able to afford them. They also support the Radio Reading Service and other local charities.
