A Word From President Lion Och

“Isn’t It Great To Be A Lion”

As we set sail for our Lions journey for the year let us again say “Thank You” to our Immediate Past President, Lion George and his team for an outstanding year. Let us not forget that we are all VOLUNTEER’S and it is going to take all of us to stay a float. All I ask from each of you is that you give as much time as your schedule permits...we have to remain a team to accomplish our goals for the year.



See our Web Page on the Thurmont Lions Club Preschool Vision Screening Program. Kids can get screened for free to help detect problems that can lead to serious conditions up to and including blindness.
