Message from the Rappahannock County Lions Club President

Welcome to the Rappahannock County Lions Club!

When you think of the Rappahannock Lions Club, what comes to mind? 

The annual sight and hearing screenings for Rappahannock County’s local students? Those yellow- and purple-hatted folks parking you at community events? Winter’s popular Variety Show and its local talents? Scholarships and trade education support for local graduates? Plastics recycling at Flatwoods? Summer’s patriotic concert at Avon Hall featuring the iconic Col. John Bourgeois?

The answer is: All of the above. And more.

Each of these activities explains the Rappahannock Lions Club’s motto: We Serve. 

Given the needs, causes and opportunities that Lions Club volunteers address locally each year, I’d add: We Serve … Our Community.

Our club, active since 1958, earns its reputation one volunteer act at a time.

After 15 years of being a Lion, I’m honored to serve this year as the club’s president. It’s a privilege to work with the women and men who lend hundreds of hours of their time each year to help our best and brightest, our young and old, and everyone in between.

We’re always recruiting new members. Seems to be working; membership has grown notably in the past two years. Contact our membership co-chairs Richard Antony (rantony@ieee.org) or Mike Wenger (Mike@wengerandwenger.com). Join us at one of our Thursday gatherings for a good meal, camaraderie and some light business and you’ll see for yourself.
