New Lion Valerie Ferrante was inducted into the Bethany Lions Club at the semi-annual Shredding event by Bethany Lions President Sue Hurlburt Valerie was sponsored by her brother, Past President Sal Ferrante.

The Bethany and Cheshire Lions clubs conducted the Lions Kidsight eye screening for students at Bethany Community School on 1/3/19.  We would like to thank BCS for their hospitality and allowing us to provide this community eye screening for children service and look forward to this being an annual event.  The Bethany Lions club is currently in process of a fundraising effort to raise monies towards a zone level vision screening event.  We would welcome your financial contribution!

Bethany Lions President Sue Hurlburt had a wonderful time with fellowship and dinner with Siler City Lions Club, Siler City, NC with L to R: SC President Juanita Brown, District O PDG Karl Ernst, SC Past President Barbara Ernst, SC Lion Susan, Bethany Lions President Sue and her daughter, Liz Hurlburt.

They gave Sue a beautiful State of North Carolina pin and their club and district newsletter and she will be keeping touch with the Siler City club on a regular basis!

What a great night of fellowship, singing and seeing the wonderful smiles of delight on the faces of those we visited!
Thanks go to Lion Carol for organizing a great evening and to our driver Lion Janice as well as thanks to Lion Kim for providing a delicious and warm pizza dinner before we left her office! 

Also, thanks to Lion Anne who arranged the decorated living Christmas trees that were given out and to everyone who baked for the cookie bags arranged by Lion Carol that were given as well.
Finally, thanks to the Bethany Lions who braved the frigid and windy night!  Despite the cold,  the stars and moon were spectacular last night.  

I would be remiss if I didn’t say welcome to Valarie Ferrante who will be putting in her application for membership.  Valarie, thanks for joining us and we are looking forward to you becoming a member!
