In June, the Medford Lions donated a scholarship to an achieving, good character Senior Rebecca Oliveira. The Medford Lions includes a Senior who encountered a physical, usually eyesight or hearing, hardship during Sr High years. This year, the VFW supported the cause with fine Commander Steve McLaughlin by providing space for our event….pure Charity by all. Welcoming and thanking words were made by PR Usha Sharma and VP Sharon Deyeso.
The night culminated in words from a Marine Staff Sargent and how he and why he joined and the meaning of “serve” to him. Go 250!! from Lions. The night hosted 40 guests and had raffles, Info, and fine food.
Our LCI is 109 years old and serves Mass Eye, BU and Tufts Eye Research, Disaster Aid, and Diabetes. This Club also hosted Foster Care Night and sent 150 items to Salem, Ma. The Turkey Raffle and FosterCare will be coupled in the Fall in ONE BIG EVENT. Many THANKS for fine food and fine donations by STOP & SHOP, Avellino’s, Ronny’s Place, Amici’s. These business owners completed our Charity theme
and the time given by the Marines.
We welcome new members and friends to our events….sharondeyeso@yahoo.com. and, info can be seen on a recent show link….Medford Happenings, Medford Lions Club. Healthy 250 from our big LIONS HEART!

It’s inspiring to see the Medford Lions Club actively supporting students like Rebecca Oliveira, who truly embody the spirit of perseverance and achievement. Events like these not only highlight individual accomplishments but also strengthen community bonds. The collaboration with local businesses to provide fine food and support for such a noble cause is commendable. It reminds me of how vital community support is in various endeavors, something I explore further in my own work over at Apostate Verity. Kudos to everyone involved in making this event a success!
