In celebration of our 73rd Anniversary Lion Steve Pellerin organized a special program of storytelling at our April 3rd regular meeting. During the past year our Fonthill Lions Club has enjoyed a reemergence that with a 50%+ increase in our membership.

The evening of reminiscing was a wonderful opportunity for our newer members to learn more about the legacy of our Fonthill Lions Club as our longer-term members highlighted some of their memories and special moments of being part of the Lion Pride.
