We hope everyone had a great time at Stafford Summerfest 2023! And a big thank you to our cornhole tournament participants.

We need photos representing all seasons. Photos are due by August 1, 2023. Email your photo to StaffordCtLions@gmail.com.

Photos must be landscape (that is wider than high). Photos must be a minimum of 3000x2250 pixels (usually at least 6.5 MB). We have rec’d photos in the past which while beautiful, could not be used because they were either in portrait mode or the resolution was not sufficient for printing approximately at 10x7 inches.

Thanks to everyone who came to see us at our booth at Child Safety Day!!

The Stafford Lions Club will be at Child Safety Day organized by the Stafford Public Schools. Many emergency services and local services will be there showcasing their vehicles and answering questions by the students. Everything from the police, the firefighters, the EMTs, animal control, and even the military.

The Stafford Lions Club will be providing medical eye screening to the students. Our Welch Spot Screener takes a picture of a person’s eyes and detects several vision issues the person may be afflicted with, such as astigmatism. We’ll then print out a report for the person to take to their doctor to follow up on potentially detected issues.
