“It’s not what we say about our blessings,
But how we use them,
Is the true measure of our Thanksgiving ~ W.T. Purkiser

JOINT COMMUNITY PROJECT:

FARRAGUT AND VANDERVEER

In support of Governor Ingrid Andrews-Campbell’s challenge
to team with other clubs, Brooklyn Farragut Lions and
Brooklyn Vanderveer Park Glenwood Lions Clubs formed a

partnership.

On August 27, 2022, the team purchased and distributed
newborn baby supplies to CRCEC to support new mothers
Farragut and Vanderveer Lions wait to distribute care packages
and their babies in the East New York
Community. Contributions included a portable baby
crib/play pen with mattress and carry bag, baby wash cloths,
hooded towels, receiving blankets, burp cloths, onesies body

suits, short sleeve body suits, varieties of socks, nasal
aspirators and pacifiers.

The Lions embraced the opportunity to learn more about

the program and services of CRCEC by engaging with staff
and volunteers. Lion Pearl John explained the purpose of
Lions with manager of Christopher Rose
Lionism. This was a very rewarding and satisfying
experience and we are looking forward to working together
again.
