Lakeville Lions Club welcomes new president

LAKEVILLE – The Lakeville Lions now have a new leader.

Past Lions Club President Patrick Marshall passed the baton to Bob Wilson at the club’s membership meeting in June. During the meeting, the Lakeville Lions inducted their new officers for the 2024-2025 year and member Gordon Goodfellow was honored for his efforts.

Goodfellow received Marshall’s Lion of the Year award for his tireless efforts as club secretary and for all his work in the community.

At the meeting, the past year was reviewed and Marshall said he was proud of the members’ achievements.

This year the club conducted numerous community projects and donated over $14,000 to various local, state and Lions charities, including the Mass Eye Research Fund, the Lions International Club Fund and the Sacred Heart Food Pantry.

This was the second highest amount the club has donated in at least seven years.

The club also held several successful fundraisers this year, including the annual Fall Family Festival last September, the golf tournament in June and the comedy show in February.

This year, 37 participants were certified in the club’s monthly CPR courses.
