2016 Scholarship Winner Madison Dall

(A little late, please forgive us!)

Please join us in congratulatuing Madison Dall as our 2016 scholarship recipient! Madison was the top choice out of 30 applicants among our 5 judges. The scholarship award this year is $1,000.

Pictured below is Madison with her parents.

Madison will be attending Tufts University this fall, studying economics.

Our primary criteria for scholarship winners is community service and volunteerism, and Madison has gone above and beyond in this regard! She's been a very active volunteer in her school and community for many years. She's volunteered for many fundraises, 5K runs, and has been active with the Interact Club (the junior level of Rotary Club) for four years. Her list of community service is too long to include here in full!

Madison's gotten plenty of attention this year. The Horsham Lions Club are not the only ones who recognized her community service efforts. She's won several other accolades from other community service organizations, and she was profiled in the Bucks County Courier Times too.

The Horsham Lions Club has been active for more than 40 years, helping those in need in our community. We provide low or no-cost eyeglasses and eye exams for the needy. We strive to assist our community through charitable donations, fundraisers, and services. Our motto is "We Serve".

Generosity Despite Loss

Meet Debbie Sharon and her daughter Misty. Early in February, Debbie lost her husband Ralph to a brain tumor. No more than a week after his passing, she contacted the Horsham Lions Club to donate something very special. You see, Ralph had been legally blind for many years. Over the years he had acquired several essential vision assistance tools to help him through everyday life. Debbie wanted to make sure these tools were donated to someone who would benefit from them. Roll down to read more...

One of the tools Ralph used, shown at left, was a "video magnifier". A book is placed under a special lens, and the image is magnified and displayed on a television attached to the device. For Ralph, this device was a tremendous help. Debbie contacted us to make sure that his magnifier would not go to waste, and would be able to help others with severe vision impairment.

After making several phone calls, we found a fantastic new home for Ralph's trusty magnifier. The Montgomery County Association for the Blind (MCAB), located in North Wales, has a program in which devices such as this are loaned out to vision-impaired residents of Montgomery County. The loaner program is so popular, that as soon as a device is returned to MCAB headquarters, another individual requests one. The Horsham Lions will be delivering Ralph's magnifier to MCAB this week.

The Sharon family also donated a large-print dictionary, and special extremely high-powered eyeglasses. The Horsham Lions found a home for the dictionary with the Horsham Township Library. The eyeglasses were given to Horsham ophthalmologist Dr. Dave McPhillips of Primary Eye Care Associates. Dr. McPhillips told us that as chance would have it, one of his patients was sorely in need of eyeglasses like this, and insurance would not cover it. We were pleased that the eyeglasses have found a new home this way.

Lastly, we'd like to thank the Sharon family for their generosity despite their recent loss. All of us respect their courage and strength to seek new homes for these tools, so soon after such a great loss.

*** UPDATE 3/9/2012 ***
The device was dropped off at MCAB on Thursday March 8th. Picutred above are MCAB administrative director David Sherwin, and administrative assistant Deena Laver.

MCAB was expecting one or more groups to come tour their offices on the 8th and 9th, and chose to leave the CCTV set up in their lobby area for the groups to see. The CCTV will be put into circulation immediately afterward.

Greetings from the Mount Rushmore State!

The Horsham Lions were pleased to have as our guests Lion Marie Anne Ben and her mother Susan. Marie belongs to the Lions Club in Vemillion, South Dakota. She had come to Warminster this week to visit her mother Susan, and had inquired if she could attend our March 1st meeting. As is the case when any Lions from different clubs meet, we exchanged fundraising ideas, great stories of club happenings, and encouragement to continue in the spirit of Lions worldwide.

Lions sponsor 2011 Horsham U10 Intramural Soccer Team

The Horsham Lions Club was proud to sponsor a 2011 Horsham Soccer team, shown in photo is Coach Bill Rivkin and his son.

2011 New Member Inductions

We are excited to induct two new members in December. District Governor Paul W. Barndt, Sr. was on hand to perform the induction ceremony, which corresponded with our annual Horsham Lions Holiday Party. This year, Otto's Brauhause (right next door to the Horsham Days Inn) catered our holiday event. New Lions Joni Hazim and Alex Wray were surrounded by their family and new Lion friends as they joined the ranks of the World's Largest Service Organization. Both members are excited to continue their community service as part of the Horsham Lions family.

2011 Toys for Kids

Again this year, the Horsham Lions Club participated in the Horsham Chamber of Commerce toy collection. New for the Chamber this year is that a local nonprofit organization, Concern 4 Kids, was the beneficiary of all chamber toy donations. Learn more. To the left is a photo of the generous donations our members gifted to local children in need.

2011 Horsham Lions Club Scholarship Winners

During a June 2011 ceremony, the Horsham Lions Club awarded a total of $2,500 in three different scholarships to 2011 high school graduates from Horsham Township. And the winners are ... Left: Anthony Caporizzo receiving his award.

Margaret “Claire” Murphy, an upcoming Virginia Tech student, earned the Horsham Lion Club’s $1,000 Max Hankin Memorial Scholarship. Murphy has volunteered for the Future Business Leaders of America and was her class vice president at Hatboro-Horsham High School. She also served on the student council and student advisory board. Outside of school, Murphy played soccer and danced. She's volunteered with youth groups and at Ronald McDonald House, Relay for Life, Philabundance, SPCA, and many other organizations. Anthony Caporizzo, a La Salle College High School graduate, won a $750 scholarship and will attend Syracuse University this fall. Caporizzo said he plans on studying biomedical engineering and hopes to become a surgeon. He's been a church youth group leader and was on the youth advisory board for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Caporizzo has been a Boy Scout for many years. In school, he was in the National Honor Society, and participated in varsity bowling and basketball. He was also the school's mascot for football games. Caporizzo has made service trips to Bolivia (in 2009) and to a Navajo reservation in Arizona (in 2010). “While in Bolivia we painted a house we raised money to build,” he said. “We also spent many hours in the hospitals playing with the orphaned children.” Along with about 30 others, Caporizzo said he helped with building efforts in Arizona too. The team refinished a recreational gym so people would have a place to play indoors during the rainy season. Caporizzo and some friends also put a roof on a house and built a stone pathway to the door using stones collected from a mountain. “This work helped me get along with other people,” he said. “I have always been independent, but having to work with other people and having to be able to trust them will help me in school and in the workforce.” Matthew Jevit, who plans to attend Duquesne University this fall, won a Horsham Lions’ $750 scholarship. Jevit spent three and a half years working to reach the highly respected level of Eagle Scout, and has received numerous accolades via the Boy Scouts. “I realize the importance of giving back to the community and, seeing that my troop is located in Hatboro, I organized the restoration of a section of York Road in Hatboro’s downtown area,” he said. “This included weeding, mulching and planting flowers around the trees on York Road.” Jevit has also volunteered for Key Club and local soup kitchens. He is an altar server at his church, and has been a summer day camp counselor for four years. Jevit served as a guide for the National Youth Leadership Training, where he taught leadership to a small group of scouts. A lover of the natural sciences, Jevit said he wants to be a high school science teacher. “I realize I like teaching people and I am probably better suited to teach rather than do field research,” Jevit said. “I figured that teaching was a way to enjoy the sciences, but still be active throughout the day.”
