Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Hanover Lions Club has a long and proud history, and they are a GREAT
group that does so much for our town. I am therefore pleased to publicize
the following e-mail notice of their upcoming information night for
prospective new members. Check this out!

INFORMATION NIGHT DECEMBER 2, 2009
The Hanover Lions Club will be holding an information night for all
individuals interested learning more about Lions activities and becoming
members. The event will be held on Tuesday, December 2, 2009 at the John
Curtis Free Library from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
Lions International was founded in 1917 and is comprised of 1.35 million
members in 194 countries worldwide. They answer the needs that challenge the
communities of the world. Lions tackle tough problems like blindness, drug
abuse prevention, and diabetes awareness which is the major cause of adult
blindness.
Established in 1961, the Hanover Lions Club follows the Lions motto of "We
Serve".
The Hanover Lions serve in many ways – from hands on involvement in
community activities such as health screening services (for glaucoma, eye,
blood pressure, and hearing), a speech contest for High School students, a
Peace Poster Contest for Middle School students, Santa’s yearly arrival at
the library, to eye glass and hearing aide donations to needy individuals.
Our fund raising activities include a golf tournament, pancake breakfast,
weekly meat raffles, and a Christmas raffle. All money raised goes to
charities selected by the club each year. Our charitable interests address
local, state, national, and international needs. Local donations included
Hanover scout troops, Hanover Food Pantry, veterans and families at
Christmas, Hanover Council on Aging, Hanover Visiting Nurse Association,
North River Collaborative, Scholastic Awards night at the High School, and
the Massachusetts Lion Eye Research Fund, which annually provides close to
$1M in "seed" money for research into all fields of blindness and eye
related diseases. Last year, we donated over $15,000 to charitable causes.
The Hanover Lions Club meets at the Imperial Garden Restaurant on the 1st
and 3rd Tuesday of each month. If you are interested in learning more about
the Hanover Lions Club, please join us on December 2nd, or to attend a
meeting contact one of the club officers: President, Ron Crocker,
