Congratulations are extended to the following individuals who were presented awards at our last meeting:

2. Lion Kim Dembroski - Leo Club Presentation
3. Vi Hurtubise, Lions Steve Cormier and Paul DeMeo - Distinguished Service Awards

ROAR PROGRAM
NEWLY INSTALLED MEMBERS - This is a great way to learn more about our great Lions organization. When you were installed as a member, you should have been given an application for the ROAR Program (if not, I have applications or they are on the District 33A web-site); you have one year to complete the Program, after completion you will receive a handsome pin from the District. There are requirements which need to be met, such as; working on fundraising and service projects for the Club, attending Region/Zone Meetings, Advisory Meetings, Conventions and the like.
Please give this program some thought, it is easy and fun, and the best way to learn more about your Gardner Lions Club, District 33-A, the State Level and Lions Clubs International.
Please visit our New Member Guidance Page!
