The Athol Lions Club recently celebrated its 75th year of service to our community and the nation and world beyond with a delicious dinner and a beautiful program at a Grand Gala celebration at the Williams restaurant in Gardner. There were Lions present with one or two years of experience, many with 10 or 25 years of experience and some with over 50 of experience. There were guests ranging from distinguished members of District 33A, including the District Governor Denise Andrews, to our state Rep. Susannah Whipps, who presented an official citation from the Massachusetts House of Representatives, congratulating and honoring the Athol Lions Club for its 75 years of service. The program was presided over by Athol Lions Club President Kimberly Emond.
