The Middletown Lions club has raised millions of dollars over the years. While funding is important, it is not only about funding. Lions seek high quality projects with lasting value and meaningful impact on lives. One example in the last few years has been our club's focus in being a leading contributor in working hard to revitalize Camp Happiness. This 97 year old camp for the blind on the Sandy Hook Bay (part of New Jersey Blind Citizens Association) serves blind children and adults with active day programs and an adult summer camp program. Blind individuals who might otherwise live in greater isolation are availed opportunities improve their quality of life. For more on our work at Camp Happiness visit www.NJBCA.organd view the Video about Camp Happiness.
When Hurricane Katrina hit the gulf region two years ago, Middletown Lions responded through Lions International. Now, more than two years later
we have not forgotten this devastated part of our own country that continues to struggle to rebuild and restore quality of life. In September 2007 members
of the Middletown Lions Club took "vacation time" rebuild homes and to fund the Biloxi Lions who in turn used the funds to aid aid a school for the deaf that had been devastated by Katrina and has been struggling. Click here to read the story written by Middletown Lion and Director, John Giordano.
