LYNDONVILLE – The Lyndonville Lions Club met on Wednesday night for two special ceremonies, the induction of a new member and also the induction of students into the LEO Club at the school.
The LEO Club is a high school-based club sponsored by the Lyndonville Lions under the Lions Club International umbrella. The club recruits high school students who seek responsibility to their fellow man and community service.
LEO stands for “Leadership, Experience and Opportunity.” It fosters commitment to community service. The LEO Club further allows the Lyndonville Lions to mentor and empower high school students in the Lyndonville community who will become the standard bearers of the next generation.
At present the LEO Club has 21 members. The club is directed by elected student leaders and is has an oversight advisor, Gina Marker, a Lyndonville High School English teacher. The LEOs are available for all community service projects and local charity events. Those wishing for assistance in future community service projects may contact the Lyndonville LEO Club for volunteer assistance on their projects.

He was sponsored by his grandfather Mr. David Godfrey who also assisted in the candlelight induction ceremony.
The Lions Club also discussed the 50th anniversary July 4th celebration with details to be announced in the coming months. Efforts are underway by the Lyndonville Lions to make the 2024 celebration event the largest ever held in Lyndonville.
The addition of several new bands to the parade and expansion of the fireworks show were topics on the agenda. Preliminary discussion about additions of new venues for the day-long July 4th celebration are ongoing and future fundraising projects were proposed.
The Lyndonville Lions would like to thank all those who have supported the organization over the years. We wish all a Happy Thanksgiving and ask that we take time this holiday season to give thanks for the many blessings bestowed on us.
