Night for Sight
- Details
Norshaft Lions held their annual 'Night for Sight' dinner dance at the Elks Lodge in Bennington, Vermont on Saturday, March 24th. This all-ages event raises money to benefit training of seeing-eye dogs. Seeing-eye dogs and puppies in training are featured at the event and the Puppy Kissing Booth is a huge hit every year!
This year Norshaft Lions were joined by PDG Ken Emery, PDG Pamela Nichols, and Lion Jackie Dutil to help celebrate a most successful milestone - Bennington County has now been named as a “new puppy raising community”!
Middlebury warms spring with Food from the Heart

Happy Easter, Help Your Neighbors!
26 members of the Middlebury Lions Club completed their annual “Food from the Heart” food drive on the Saturday before Easter. The food drive is conducted in support of the CVOEO and HOPE food shelves. Once again our community demonstrated their outstanding generosity by donating just over 2.5 tons of food in only 6 hours. One community resident filled an entire shopping cart with goods to donate. Other community members preferred to quietly donate cash in lieu of goods. The Middlebury Lions also added their own cash contribution; making a total cash gift of $2,000 to be shared between our Middlebury food pantries. Many thanks go out to our area grocers: Hannaford, Kinney Drugs, Middlebury Natural Foods CO-OP, Pratt's Store, and Shaw’s. Half of the goods were delivered to CVOEO that same day. “Thank you Middlebury Lions! 1,983 pounds of food gathered in food drive for our food shelf in Middlebury” says the CVOEO website alongside a photo of a huge pile of foods and smiling Lions. The remainder of the food was delivered to the HOPE food shelf on April 2nd.
How about that for service?
