The event was well attended by Lions from throughout the district and, once again, the Lions of Bridgewater came away with a nice round of awards:

• Best Secretary, Medium Club: Anne Fagan (Bridgewater Academy Lions)
• Best Secretary, Extra Large Club: Ben Ellis (Bridgewater Lions Club)
• Best President, Extra-Large Club, Runner-Up: George Andruk (Bridgewater Lions Club)
• Best Medium Club, Runner-Up: Bridgewater Academy Lions Club
• Best Extra-Large Club, Runner-Up: Bridgewater Lions Club

Congratulations to these Lions and their clubs on another great year!

Well, it’s turning into quite a banner month for the Bridgewater Academy Lions. Another member is in the press, and this time it’s our very own Vale Sime. It seems Vale will be one of 287 women honored as “Unsung Heroines”.

You can find the article here.

Congratulations, Vale!

All of the proceeds will benefit the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund (MLERF). Please watch the auction on BTV-9 and bid on items from the comfort of your own home. Maybe you could do some holiday shopping? Maybe you’ll splurge on something great for yourself? Whatever you choose to bid on, please remember to bid high and bid early so you don’t lose out on an item that you have to have! The phone number to place a bid is (508) 279-6367.
Items can be picked up at the rear door of the BTV-9 Studios, 80 Spring Street, immediately after the auction - from 10:30pm to 11pm. We’ll also have pick up times on Monday, November 12 (6pm-9pm), Tuesday, November 13 (9am-noon and 3pm-6pm), and Friday, November 16 (8am-noon).
