Lions and Scouts: Community Service Across GenerationsIn recognition of the 75th anniversary of Cub Scouts, Cubmaster Bob Plate and Assistant Cubmaster Scott Saalborn, visited with its charter organization, the New Fairfield Lions Club, on October 25th. Cub Scout Pack 142 is the oldest Cub Scout unit in New Fairfield, and currently has a membership of nearly 80 boys in first through fifth grades. Just as Lions are dedicated to community service, the Scouts in Pack 142 learn about the importance of service to their community as well. Sure, Scouting is all about camping, having fun, learning new skills, spending time outdoors, earning badges, going new places and making friends, but, as indicated in the Cub Scout Promise, a Cub Scout also commits “to help other people”. That’s a promise Cub Scouts have kept for 75 years, and one we hope these young men will keep for the next 75! The New Fairfield Lions Club is proud to sponsor Scouting in New Fairfield. At their meeting on October 25th, Lion President Gail Redenz presented Cubmaster Bob Plate with a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of his years of service to our young men in Scouting. What an honor it would be have these young scouts grow and mature in to Leo’s in High School, and eventually to Lions, so that together “WE SERVE”. Click the thumbnail for a full-sized photo
New Lions – Mark Lamanna and Chris PepinOn October 25th, Connecticut Past Council Chair Lion Bob Redenz (2004-2005) inducted two new members in to the New Fairfield Lions Club – Mark Lamanna and Chris Pepin.

Lion Mark is sponsored by Lion Richard Smith. Chris Pepin, also a New Fairfield resident, contacted the Club this summer after reading the various articles about the Clubs extensive activities and community service projects.
