Over the years. it has been my privilege to work closely with members of the Lions Club. and I am pleased to have this opportunity to express my respect and appreciation for their efforts. It would be impossible to list all the contributions and community projects of the Lions Club of Wilmington. but a few examples make clear the depth and breadth of their efforts: In 1952. the Lions Club organized a childrens zoo in Wilmington. which has since become part of the county parks system and is a center of education and enjoyment for Delawareans of all ages. The Lions have worked with newly naturalized citizens since 1945. helping to make each new American more at home in their new country. A leader in programs for Delawareans with special needs. the Lions Club invests thousands of dollars every year to help neighbors overcome the challenge of disability and disadvantage. To help encourage the talents and good citizenship of our young people. and to promote the promise or our future. the Lions Club runs the Teenager of the Year Program. recognizing academic achievement and community service.
