Spring has sprung and the Windsor Lions are gearing up for their 36th Annual Spring Arts and Crafts Fair. About 100 artisans will be on the Broad Street Town Green from 9 AM to 4 PM on Saturday May 9th. What a great time to pick up a unique and very special Mother’s Day gift and have fun at the same time. When you do, you will be helping the Lions provide eye care to Windsorites. Last year the Windsor Lions contributed approximately $10,000 worth of exams and eyeglasses to school children and adults. Lions also provide much needed funds for the support of eye care causes such as the Lions International Foundation, CT Library for the Blind in Rocky Hill, CT Lions Eye Research at Yale-New Haven Hospital, the CT Lions Gallery of Vision Services, VOSH (Voluntary Optometric Services to Humanity) and FIDELCO. Other donations are made to local community organizations such as Boys and Girls State, Windsor Community Service Council food and fuel banks, Northwest Park, Windsor Independent Living Association, Windsor CARES, Windsor Library Association, Project Graduation, Mary's Place, The Soldiers Project, The Union Street Tavern Trot (for childhood cancer research), The Children's Welfare Fund, Lions Children's Christmas Party, and four scholarships to graduating high school seniors. The Lions meet on second and fourth Tuesday's at 6:30 PM at Union Street Tavern in Windsor. Those interested in attending and/or finding out more about the club, please contact Jim Daniels (jamesadanielscpa@gmail.com or 860-219-9489). |
