AARON G. COLLINS
81st President
Long Island City/Astoria Lions Club
Dear Friends,
I am thrilled to have been elected as President of the Long Island City/Astoria Lions Club for the 2016/2017 term.
Though small, we are a very active and very old club. This year we will be celebrating our 95th year of service in western Queens, making us the second-oldest Lions Club in New York. Our members are known for their motivation to serve and generosity of their time and talents.
We have annual events, a blood drive and a canned food drive. Though we are a smaller club, our canned food drive brought in well over a ton and a half of food last year for our community. This year, we expect to bring in over two. This past February, our club helped to raise over $14,000 in a fundraiser.
“We Serve” is the Lions’ motto, and I look forward to leading this club as we serve the communities of Long Island City and Astoria in the following year.
Sincerely,
Lion Aaron
