We Serve to Help Others… with Courage and Talent to Succeed!
Fenwick Lions now offer Vision Screening to Veterans and their families. The
Fenwick Island Lions Club, Millsboro American Legion and the Ocean View VFW - in the
full spirit of the newly formed “Delaware Joining Forces” initiative to encourage
veterans and community service organizations to work more closely together - will
begin to offer a free vision screening opportunity to veterans and their families.
On Tuesday, September 2nd we will also welcome our members back for our new fall
season with our luncheon at Harpoon Hanna’s and the following week, on Wednesday,
September 10th we will hold a board retreat to see how we can refine the operation
of club to better serve our community, to make sure our member needs our being
met and to encourage others to join us in our efforts. Please consider attending this
session and helping us accomplish our goals. The vitality and longevity of the club
hangs in the balance.
Your Attendance is unusually important at this retreat!
Camp Barnes
On August 18th, we met with LEO Club advisor Laura Quillen and members from
other Lions Club in the state, to plan for the “3rd Annual LEO Leadership Bash at the
Beach.” This year the Bash will involves LEO clubs from around the state, and
hopefully from our eastern shore LEO Club neighbors in Maryland.
On August 5th, a great group of Lions volunteered at the concession stand at
the Senior League World Series, which this year had a total of five games
broadcast on ESPN. It is always an inspiration to see all these young athletes
from literally around the world!
Aluminum Can collection involves bagging cans that
are dropped off at various collection sites and
delivered to a storage trailer which when full is picked
up by a salvage company, weighed and a payment
made to our Club. This process can be done by any
individual with or without a truck; arrangements can be
made for pick-up and delivery of bags to our storage
trailer.
Even with the changing price of aluminum and the voluntary
recycling programs implemented by the towns Fenwick Island, South
Bethany and Bethany Beach, our aluminum can recycling program continues important funding to one of
our Club’s largest fundraising activities.
Started in 1987 by founding members Jay Downing and Cal Denis (both now deceased), our so called
“dirty dozen” continue to collect, bag and deposit an endless stream of cans, which regularly appear in our
recycling bins throughout the area, into the forty-eight foot long tractor trailer - storage units.
Sam “builds them”... Don Stewart & Jim Stone “install them” at Hockers!
Why Become a FILC Member...
LOOKING FOR A NEW EXPERIENCE?
Are you interested in helping others? Meeting new people?
As a Lion, you will use your time and talents to make an impact locally and around the world.
Through experiences as a Lion, you will acquire new skills, meet challenges head-on, cultivate lasting friendships and you will have
fun! Volunteering your time not only helps those in need, but also gives you a sense of pride, an accomplishment that comes from
deep within.

Do you want to pursue a leadership role? Would you rather just lend a helping hand when needed?

Please contact our President or Membership Chair for details. Thank you!

Every person offers unique talents to any
organization. When we combine our efforts
and work toward a common goal, the
results are usually mind boggling! Lions
work is like a gigantic puzzle. Until the
last piece is found the picture is never
complete.
On September 2nd, we will be delivering bowls of homemade cookies for the families
of 2nd Annual ‘Operation Seas the Day’ which will be held in Bethany Beach. These
cookies are baked by FILC members, spouses and various friends. This ‘gift’ from
our club to the families of the wounded warriors was greatly appreciated last year
and I am sure they will again this year. Please remember to deliver your cookies to the
Schoonover’s on Monday morning, September 1st, (Labor Day… God bless you ladies!) and, if
you need them to be picked up, please call us at 302 539-2043.
