Welcome!

Welcome to the Horsham Lions Club Blog!

What is a "blog", you may ask?

Simply, a blog is short for "Web Log", a log that is on the internet. Consider it a diary, a daily event calendar showing things that we find important to share with others.

Who are the Lions anyway?

White Cane Day Comes Early!

White Cane Day came early this year, because Wawa could only fit us in on September 19th instead of a date in October. Regardless, we earned several hundred dollars for White Cane charities, thanks to the help of Lions Tara Smith, Steve Girone, Jules Olita, and new member Bart Allgeier.


Meet our Newest Members!


Join us in welcoming our two newest Horsham Lions Club members!

Pictured above, left to right: sponsor and charter member Larry Glemser, new member Bart Allgeier, new member Nipul Patel, and PDG Ted Truver.

Larry knows Nipul because they are both merchants, located near each other. And Larry knows Bart through his service in the military.

At last count, we now have SIX new members in 2009 !!

Guest Speaker April 1, 2010

Mr. Marshall Gisondi needed to re-schedule and will be our guest at our April 1st, 2010 meeting. Marshall, who is vision-impaired, is a professional piano tuner and technician.

He was trained at School of Piano Technology for the Blind, located in Vancouver, Washington. The school has been in place, educating the blind to repair and service pianos since 1949.

Come join us to meet this amazing individual and learn about the school which has been training the blind for decades.

During our November 5th meeting, we will be hosting Ms. Amy Kaissar from the Bristol Riverside Theater.

Come join us and learn about this local professional theater and its slate of upcoming performances.

Helping Our Community

Just a few recent examples of how the Horsham Lions Club helps the community:
  • In August, we donated $150 toward the purchase of new eyeglasses for an Abington High School teacher's aid who could not afford them.
     
  • In September, we donated $200 to cover the co-pay for two cataract surgeries for an elderly Ambler woman.
     
  • Also in September, we donated another $100 toward the purchase of new eyeglasses for a disabled Norristown woman.
LIONS, this is the benefit that your efforts have given! FRIENDS, we cannot do this if we can't raise funds. Please support your local service organization!
