On Thursday, January 22nd, 2009, The Mount Carmel Lions Club honored three members for demonstrating an active commitment to humanitarian causes in our local and global community. Lion Ray W. Rothermel (second from left, being congratulated by Lion President Frank Zaleski) was honored for 25 years of service, and Lion Anthony "Red" Miscavige (far right, being congratulated by Lion First Vice-President Mike Romance) for 60 years of service as members of the Mount Carmel Lions Club. Lion Ted Matlow was also honored in abstentia for 50 years of service. All received a Milestone Chevron Award representing their respective years of service. Along with the Chevron Award was a letter from the Lions International President Albert F. Brandel giving thanks for being active members in an international organization that boasts 1.4 million members.

Are you looking for a local organization with a focus on serving its community? Why not consider the Mount Carmel Lions Club? We are always looking for new members who are interested in joining the world's largest service organization.

For membership in the Mount Carmel Lions Club or any Lions Club around the world, simply ask a Lions member for more details. Then attend a meeting with a sponsor, and see for yourself the good fellowship and good service a Lions Club can offer you. Or contact our Membership Chairman, Hugh A. Jones, at hajones2@verizon.net.

While our primary purpose is to fulfill the Lions International motto of "We Serve", we also have several club events each year in addition to our meetings. These include our summer picnic in the country, our annual outing with the Rotary Club at Knoebels Amusement Resort, spouses nights and our annual Christmas party.
