LYNDONVILLE – Wednesday night marked a special occasion for the Lyndonville Lions Club as members celebrated 50 years of remarkable service to their community and its sponsorship of one of the largest 4th of July parades in the area.

Proclamations were presented to the Lyndonville Lions Club from the offices of Senator Rob Ortt and Assemblyman Steve Hawley to honor the anniversary and commemorate the club’s outstanding service to the community.

“The Lions Club motto is ‘We Serve’ and the Lyndonville chapter certainly exemplifies that,” said Senator Rob Ortt. “I’m proud of my partnership with the Lyndonville Lions Club and truly enjoy marching every year in what has to be the biggest 4th of July parade in Western New York. It wouldn’t be possible without volunteers from the Lion’s Club, and for the past 50 years, the Lyndonville Lions Club has done a remarkable job incorporating the entire community and surrounding areas.”

“The Lyndonville Lions Club has been a staple in our community and has worked to bring its neighbors together for the last 50 years,” said Hawley. “From organizing our amazing 4th of July parade to putting together countless humanitarian projects across the region, the Lions Club has been an invaluable asset to the Western New York community. I’m grateful for the hard work this organization has put in over the last 50 years and I look forward to seeing the impact it will have in the years to come.”

Wednesday’s meeting also brought in four new recruits, one of the highest ever from a single event.
