The Larchmont and Mamaroneck Lions Clubs have announced they will merge. The combined organizations will be known as the Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions.

A kickoff celebration of the merger is planned for Jan. 7 with a dinner at the Sedona Taphouse in Mamaroneck. The guest speaker is scheduled to be incoming Westchester County Executive George Latimer.

The event also will launch the Lions”™ partnership with the Sedona Taphouse in “Steak Out for Charity.” On Mondays, Sedona offers a steak dinner, usually $17.90, for $6 and donates $1 of that to a local charity or community service organization. For the four Mondays in January, starting Jan. 8, the Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions will match each $1 donation. Recipient of the donations will be Habitat for Humanity of Westchester.

The newly merged club plans to join with other area Lions Clubs (New Rochelle, Rye City and Ann Sullivan/White Plains) to form the Sound Shore Lions Clubs Group.
