On August 6th, the LM Lions and other District Lions Clubs attended Vision/VCB’s annual Lions Appreciation Day, which included a re-dedication of the newly refurbished and fully accessible swimming pool.   The LM Lions also donated
1000 to the operation of the camp.
        
Access to Care Health Fair

LM Present Scholarships to MHS & Rye Neck HS Seniors 
The LM Lions Club awarded two scholarships as part of its annual high school community service essay contest. Mamaroneck High School senior Shannon Gallaher and Rye Neck High School senior Kimichika Irie were the winners. Essays were rated based on the applicant’s breadth and depth of service and how that service embodied the Lions’ motto “We Serve.”
                                                                                      
Sedona's "Dine Out for Charity"
The LM Lions partnered with Mamaroneck’s Sedona Taphouse’s Mondays Dine Out for Charity promotion, teaming  up in support of the STEM Summer Enrichment Program in June and The Fuller Center in July.    Every month on every Monday, Sedona donates $2 of each special priced steak dinner (or lunch) ordered to a local service group or project. The LM Lions team up with Sedona on Lions supported causes. 
​
An Afternoon of Audio Theater
On April 1st a number of groups came together to present an afternoon of audio theater at the Larchmont Village Center.  The event, co-sponsored by LM Lions, Larchmont Library, LMC Media, Sandbox Theatre and SPERDVAC (Society for the Preservation of Radio Drama, Variety and Comedy) had the dual purpose of providing a history of audio theater, with a
live production… and demonstrating opportunities for the blind to be participants in its creation.  The event included a live re-creation from the Sandbox Theatre of the 1949
“Ozzie & Harriet Easter” radio episode and the playing of a recording of a new audio drama “Burning Gotham.
