They’re Off and Running

What a great way to start off the New Year by jogging with over 200 of your close intimate friends on a bright sunny day. That's what many people did on Sunday January 1st when they joined in celebrating the 30th Annual New Year’s Day Brookfield Lions Run for Sight starting at the Brookfield High School. Funds derived from this 4 mile race help support the Connecticut Lions Eye Research Foundation at Yale - New Haven Hospital as well as other numerous locally supported charities.

The Lions Club is the largest Service Organization in the World with over 1.4 million members in 45,000 Local clubs located in over 200 countries and territories. The Brookfield Lions support a number of local, regional and international causes including Guiding Eyes for the Blind, Pediatric/Adult Vision Screening, Connecticut Lions Eye Research Foundation, Eyeglasses for the Needy, Red Cross Blood Drives, Ability Beyond and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The Brookfield Lions meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month. For further information about the Brookfield Lions contact Membership Chair Kathi Hlavac irishkbh@aol.com
