The Lions Roar...serious and fun information from the Westerly Lions Club

The Westerly Lions is hosting their annual Insight picnic at the Westerly Yacht Club on August 4, 2010. Over 40 Lions will cook and serve salad, home-made "chowdah", corn on the cobb, barbeque chicken, and watermelon for the visually impaired.

This annual event is put on in conjunction with INSIGHT, an organization who envisions a world in which people are valued for who they are, not for what they see. 

In June of 1925, Helen Keller challenged Lions to become "Knights of the Blind in the crusade against darkness". The Lions accepted and today sight programs remain one of our defining causes.

Earlier that same year, the Westerly Lions Club was formed, and will be celebrating their 85th anniversary this coming January.
