LYNDONVILLE – The Lyndonville Lions had a busy month of December to wrap up their 2024 agenda.
On Dec. 7 the Lions furnished hot dogs and hamburgers to a hungry crowd attending the Village of Lyndonville Christmas Tree Lighting Festival. The day long activities included a morning brunch, an extensive craft show and various other venues for people to visit.
The evening culminated with the arrival of Santa courtesy of the Lyndonville Fire District. Cool temperatures and a bitter cold north wind did not stop attendees from seeing Santa flip the switch as he illuminated over 85 Christmas trees in the village park.
The Lions held their final meeting of 2024 on Dec. 11 which was followed by their annual Christmas dinner party. All of the participants were treated to Christmas melodies performed by Mr. Kevin Clark from Lockport.
His Christmas performance includes a Christmas trivia challenge, name that tune contest and as always, a closing session of Christmas caroling.
During this event the Lions collected Christmas presents to be donated to the Genesee/Orleans Ministry of Concern. The Club also financially donates to this organization throughout the year to support the needed work they carry out all year long.

On Dec. 12 the Lions carried out their annual poinsettia delivery for shut-ins in the Town of Yates. Annually, the Lions provide a small bit of holiday cheer with the delivery of a poinsettia plant to local shut-ins during the Christmas season.
On Dec. 13, the Lions supported the Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign. A monetary donation was given from the club along with sessions of Lions Club and Leo Club members ringing the bell at Tops Market in Medina.
Donors were treated with a heartfelt holiday thank you and candy canes. The Salvation Army is the largest non-government provider of social services in the United States and one of the top five worldwide. The Lyndonville Lions were proud to support their efforts.

The Lyndonville Lions would like to thank all those who have supported the Lions during the year. The club is actively planning for 2025 and further details of upcoming events will be forthcoming in the near future.
During this time of year, we are reminded of the biblical verse from Luke 2:11: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
We wish all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We ask that God continues to bless you and your family and this great nation we live in.
