The Ridgefield Lions
Club is a non-profit organization that supports the local community. Our Mission Statement is to create and foster a spirit of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs by providing voluntary services through community involvement and international cooperation. The Lions motto is "We Serve"
Our club was formed April 19, 1929. We celebrated our 84th Anniversary this year. We collect used glasses throughout the year. There's a big YELLOW mailbox in The Market Place at Copps Hill as well as smaller white and blue Lions Club boxes in Town Hall, My Eye, Dr. Amatuzzi's office, Dr. Berman's office (Family Eye Care), Dr. Doty's office, Ridgefield Bank (Danbury Road) and Dr. Reynold's office. There are also boxes at Founder's Hall and Ridgefield Parks and Rec . Georgetown Lions have a yellow mail box in Ancona's parking lot also. The glasses are sent to a school for the deaf in New Jersey where they are cleaned, read and packaged to be distributed to people in third world countries by Lions and opticians. Our club collected 10,000 pairs of glasses during the past few years. This is an ongoing project for our club. If anyone is interested in joining our Club, please contact our membership chairperson, Mike Liberta at 203-438-0726 or mj_liberta@msn.com. We are always looking for people to join us in our endeavor to help those less fortunate. Our club consists of both male and female members from all walks of life. We love for you to join us at one of our meetings to see what we're all about.
