On Saturday, 21 May, Fairfax Lions Pete Conklin, Ken Schutz, Judith Richter-Murphy, Greg and Karen DeRosa assembled for the annual road cleanup. Donuts and coffee were served first, then at 8:30am – one of the hottest days in May – Lions picked up litter and trash along Pickett Road. Lions always have fun serving the community!

Fairfax Lions celebrated their 71st year of being a Lions Club, serving others. The celebration banquet was at Chantilly National Golf and Country Club, on May 15th.
At our May 3 Lions Club meeting, we heard from Marcia Sheehan and Michelle Pearlstein about Horizon Day Camp in the Metro DC area. It provides summer camp and year round programming for children with cancer and their siblings – 100% free of charge. See: http://horizondaycamp.org
A key fund raiser to support Horizon Day Camp, is a “Horizon Walks” on June 12, 2022 at National Harbor. See: https://www.sunrise-walks.org/metrodc
Audrey Nagle, 8th grader at Rocky Run Middle School, won the Fairfax Lions prize for best Peace Poster. For 34 years, Lions have encouraged youth to create art posters reflecting peace. Audrey is this year’s winner.
Sprout Therapeutic Riding Center does great work…it provides equine assisted activities and therapies to individuals seeking opportunities for growth. See: Sprout Therapeutic Riding Center
Fairfax Lions provide financial support to Sprout, and also participate in fund raisers – such as “Sipping for Sprout” held each year at Stone Mountain Winery in Leesburg.
On April 10, several Fairfax Lions and family members enjoyed the “Sipping” event.
Fairfax Lions Club welcomes its newest member Judith Richter-Murphy. At the Club’s meeting on April 5th, Judith officially became a member of the world’s largest service organization, Lions Clubs International. Judith was familiar with the good works of Lions Clubs from her early life overseas.
