“SOCKS DRIVE”: A SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP
In early December 2023, the “Sock Drive” was initiated by Springfield Gardens Lions Club, with a steering committee
of Lion Stephanie Simeon, Club Marketing Coordinator, Lion Randy Lewis, Chairperson and Lion Iris Allen, Co-
Chairperson. The goal was to collect socks for the more than 100 children living in a family shelter in south-east
Queens. Solicitations were sent to the Girl Scout Troops of the Greater New York Council and Lions and Leos of
Brooklyn and Queens.
