On June 26, 2023, the Champlain Valley Lions became the newest Lions club!
It’s 24 charter members serve the south side of Burlington city, the UVM campus, South Burlington, and Shelburne.
Every member, except four, is brand-new to Lions. The club is excited to take on the challenge of becoming organized, and has great energy.
Says Mark Hanna, the club’s president, “We are all learning and looking forward to our first full year.” Already, members have several service projects under their belt; with the club’s origins dating to October 2022. Membership has been a central focus, and even established a position of “Member Care Chair.”
The vibrant new club meets monthly on Zoom as well as two very nice, member-friendly locations, in South Burlington and Shelburne. Check out its Social Media, here:

The Norwich Lions Club Meadow Muffins contest is a popular annual tradition, whereby participants “buy” one or more numbered plots of land in a fenced-in area for $20 each, for which an assigned, randomized number matching a corresponding “deed” has been assigned to each plot.
On August 13, some heifers will be brought into an enclosure with the plots laid out in a grid to determine the winner and runner-up by depositing a “meadow muffin” on the squares of two lucky prize recipients!
First Prize: Up to $1000 (10% of gross receipts) -- 1 in 500 (or better) chance of winning.
Second Prize: Up to $500 (5% of gross receipts) -- 1 in 499 (or better) chance of winning
Third Prize: The satisfaction that you contributed to a good cause! (up to 498 in 500 chances)
If you are a winner, you will be notified by email or phone. The order of your purchase, as invoiced by by 32 Auctions, determines which deed you have purchased.
Three impartial judges will be appointed to oversee the contest. In case circumstances prevent a meadow muffin deposit from determining the winners on the appointed date, the judges will draw the winning numbers from among the tickets sold. In case of errors in the sale of the Meadow Muffins, the judges will determine a fair outcome.
The contest raises funds to support community organizations, as described at www.norwichlionsclub.org and summarized, below.
