The Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions celebrated its 100th anniversary on Sept. 28 with a casual luncheon at Sedona Taphouse. The celebration was an all-day affair for all who dined at Sedona.

New York State Senator Shelley Mayer and village of Larchmont Trustee Brigid Brennan presented proclamations to LM Lions President Lina Pasquale.  In addition to the LM Lions, attendees included representatives of the New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, NY Highbridge, NY Japanese-American and Yonkers Millennium Lions Clubs, and leaders from service groups Visions, VHP, Guiding Eyes for the Blind and the Mamaroneck Library.

The event kicked off a series of events celebrating the LM Lions Centennial, which will include the Points of Light celebration of community service on Jan. 28 at Orienta Beach Club.

The event also introduced the LM Lions new board of directors:  President Lina Pasquale, Secretary Diane Oldham, Treasurer John Lyons, Service Chair Phil Oldham, Membership Chair Jason Summers, Director and Recording Secretary Carolyn Gallaher and Director Marie Moreno.

The LM Lions focus on supporting existing nonprofit and community service groups by bringing community service leaders together to determine needs, solutions and resources. The LM Lions are part of Lions Clubs International, the world’s largest service organization of over 1.4 million members.
