Dear Friends and Neighbors of the Penn-Elm Area Lions Club

     The Penn Elm Area Lions Club will celebrate its 37th anniversary in March.  Our members are long term residents of the local community.  We support the Penryn Fire Company, Scholarships for Warwick and Manheim Central Seniors, and the Manheim Food Bank.  We also support projects for the blind, diabetics, handicapped, and needy in addition to youth drug awareness programs locally and through Lions Clubs International, Pennsylvania Lions and local District Lions. 

     We own the Ball Park between Elm and Penryn, used by the youth baseball teams.  Our Lions Park and playground in Elm is used extensively by families and other community groups for reunions, picnics, and the spring plant exchange.  We have even had a few weddings, and other events.  

     For years we have held a Fall Fest for the areas children and their parents at the park. The children decorated pumpkins and enjoyed snacks, drinks, hayrides, fellowship, played games and received a treat bag.  Unfortunately, we could not schedule the Fall Fest this year because we lacked enough members to make it successful.  This was a great disappointment to all.

     If you are interested in helping to serve the local Halfville, Penryn, and White Oak community, we invite you to come to one of our meetings to see what the Penn-Elm Area Lions are all about and how you can help us to serve this wonderful area.  Simply contact one of our members or come to one or more of our meetings Calendar.  During the winter and early spring we meet at 6:30 PM, on the first Tuesday of the month at Saint Paul Hall in Penryn and at the Brickerville House for a dinner meeting on the third Tuesday. During warmer weather our meetings are at our park.

Lion Richard Rodgers is named a Melvin Jones Fellow!

The Melvin Jones Fellowship, Lions International's highest award, was presented to Penn-Elm Lion Rich Rodgers on Tuesday, September 18, 2012.  Making the presentation was Immediate Past District 14-D Governor, Lion Bob Eberly of the Ephrata Lions Club.

Lion Rich's life of service earned him this recognition from our club.  He served his country in the Navy.  He serves his church, his family, and his friends.  Through Lions he serves his community through local, state, national, and international

projects that help people in need.  Lion Rich exemplifies the Lions motto, "WE SERVE".  Congratulations Lion Rich!

Thank You Lion Merv and Ben!
