Lions Announce Student of the Month

In recognizing hard work, community involvement, and high academic standards Vermilion Lions Club is proud to announce its Student of the Month for February, Jade Bauer.

Of course no student would be where they are without great parents, it is our pleasure to also introduce and congratulate Jade's parents Jeff and Dina for their great effort.

Lions Club Closes out the year with fun!

Let's face it 2011 was a very difficult year for many in the Vermilion community. Vermilion Lions Club has worked very hard to help those families that have struggled this year. We are proud to have raised funds for our eye-care mission in helping children and adults with vision care.

We also have worked to contribute financially in helping other worthy organizations from Grace's kitchen, to the Vermilion Food Pantry, Operation Christmas Joy and also helping students with contributions to the Athletic and Band boosters, plus much, much more.

Of course we couldn't have done any of this without our great volunteers and the overwhelming generous support of contributors who help other by purchasing French Fries and Perch at our Wagon during festivals and football games.

Just this past week we raised $1600 from our annual Christmas Party Mystery Gift Auction. Not to mention our volunteers took up stations at Salvation Army Bell Kettles.

We thank you Vermilion and hope to help even more in the New Year! Have a great 2012!

Salvation Army marches into Lions Club

The December 6th meeting of your Vermilion Lions Club featured the Christmas Spirit of giving as we hosted Tom Chmura, the regional field representative to the Salvation Army.

Tom expressed his gratitiude in thanking the Vermilion Lions Club for providing volunteer bell ringers helping to raise funds to assist those in need.

The club members were given updates on fund raising activities, and also on the increasing need for giving in these tough economic times. Tom informed us that the Vermilion Service unit of the Army had raised $44, 106 during the past year.

To hear great speakers like Tom, and for great fellowship in helping others contact us to see how you can join Lions!

Sadly we say goodbye to a founding father of VermilionLionsClub

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of founding member Will Pretzer. Will was a founding member having served over 60 years in the community as part of Vermilion Lions Club.

The number of lives touched, as well as projects participated in from festivals, parades, fund-raisers, to helping improve Vermilion through projects like the Victory Park Gazebo and many others; Will definitively served others.

At the 40th Anniversary of the Vermilion Lions Club Will stated "I joined because of the motto 'we serve'. I was interested in what the club stood for, and I connected with what they do".

We will miss the man who meant so much to the club and to the community.

Lions 'check' in with boosters, and Dr. Maz stops by.

At the Tuesday Nov. 15th meeting of your Vermilion Lions Club we were honored to have special guest Vermilion Chiropractor. Dr. Maziar Nejad. Dr. Maz explained to members the various treatment options at Vermilion's Health Source and also answered many health related questions.

We are very honored to have great guests like Dr. Maz stop in and share with us their professional experience.

Also, at the meeting the Vermilion Athletic and Band booster representatives were presented with a check for their share of the proceeds of our "Football and French Fries" chuckwagon, which was at every Sailor home game and garnered great support from the town. Half of the proceeds go to helping those less fortunate as Lions Club helps support many great causes in Vermilion, and the other half helps with kids in support of band and athletics. We are very proud to help as all the labor for Football and FrenchFries is volunteered.

Thank you Vermilion for your great support!

Sailors come home to the warmth of French Fries!

Tonight the Sailors return to take on Rocky River, and so does the Lions Club with our delicious French Fries at the Sailor Stadium.
Did you know that all proceeds from the sale of Lions Club fries go to help programs in your community in aiding the disadvantaged. Plus a portion goes to both the Vermilion Athletic Boosters and the Vermilion Band Boosters. So help us and get a great tasting start to your cheering tonight!

Go Sailors!
