President’s Message
We had our first in-person meetings over the last five months, and they were awesome. The first was a chocolate-tasting event behind the “Lions Warehouse” – thank you Gary Kapner! What we tasted wasn’t just chocolate, but the friendship of fellow Lions. The meeting was also a success for Eversight, the eye bank of New Jersey. They raised over $12,000 that will be used to help restore the eyesight of folks in New Jersey. We also voted to be a contributing sponsor to Eversight and will donate $500 this year and the next two years. Eversight provides cornea transplants for NJ residents, including our own Pete DeSarno.
