Lion Bill Bartlett donated a historic Virginia Lions vest, to auction and raise funds for the Club’s administrative account.

Lion Walter Jessop served over 50 years in the Vienna Host Lions Club, chairing Christmas Tree sales for over 40 years. Jess has a love for the beauty and history of Washington DC, and spoke to Fairfax Lions about landmarks, memorials, and the roles of George Washington and French military engineer Major Pierre L’Enfant in designing the city.

On April 14th, FX Lions Club celebrated its 73rd year. A new member was inducted into the Club, and we enjoyed a wonderful talk by the senior Lion officer in the area (Governor of Lions District 24L) who presented awards to several Lions for their length of service…longest was to Lion Harry Parker (a past Governor’s Council Chair) for his 45 years as a Lion. It was a most enjoyable evening event at the Chantilly National Golf and Country Club.

Fairfax Lions participated in a Blood Drive hosted by Providence Presbyterian Church on April 4th.  The Lions assisted the American Red Cross in registering donors at the door while Lions Scott Dulvaney, Mike Greeley, and Corey Green rolled up their sleeves and donated blood.  Thanks to Providence Presbyterian Church for hosting the event which drew 28 donors and 28 “good units” of life saving blood.

Fairfax Host Lions Club screened children’s vision on April 11 & 12 at Fairfax United Methodist Church Preschool.  We screened 22 students, aged 3-5.  Only one student needed to be referred to an optometrist for further testing.  Four Lions served each day…participating Lions:  Mike Greeley, Joe Breda, Joe Rovansek, Gordon Tillery, Harry Pontius, and Marty Lockard.  Working with the youngsters is always fun, and it is a great service – assuring the children can properly see (or need to see a professional for vision correction), before they advance in school. 

Fairfax Lion Cindy recently graduated from George Mason University with a major degree in Criminology and a Minor in Forensics. Join all Fairfax Lions in congratulating Cindy on her accomplishment!
