Lions of Bridgewater

Three local young people have been selected to receive the Lions Young Leaders in Service Awards, presented by the District 33S Youth Outreach Coordinator and Lions Clubs International.
Designed to encourage youth to serve in their community, the awards are presented to young people who complete 50 or 100 hours of community service in a 12-month period. The local Lions Young Leaders in Service Awards recipients are:

Gold Seal Awards for 100 Hours of Service
Peter Bertelli of Middleboro

Silver Seal Awards for 50 Hours of Service
Brian Davis of Bridgewater
Michael Shalginewicz of Bridgewater

The awards will be presented during the 15th Annual Bridgewater Academy Lions Club Cable Auction, on November 11th, at 5:00PM on BTV9. Each recipient will receive a letter and certificate from the President of Lions Clubs International.
“Lions believe it is important for young people to experience the rewards of helping their community,” says District 33S Youth Outreach Coordinator Martin Middleton. “Young people who volunteer become adults who serve, and service is the primary focus of Lions clubs. In fact, ‘We Serve’ is our motto.”
The Greater Bridgewater Leos Club worked with the Bridgewater Academy Lions Club to recruit participants and coordinate the award application process. Bridgewater Academy Lions Club extends appreciation to the adult leader who assisted with the awards program: Sharon Audette.
