Welcome to ‘Manely Speaking!’,
the Newsletter of the Briarwood/Kew Gardens Lions Club!
Please let us know if you have a submission for the newsletter.
Do you have something that’s a source of community pride? Share it. It might be perfect for the ‘Roars!’ section. Have you noticed a neighborhood trouble spot? Have a community pet peeve? Let us know. It may become part of our ‘Growls’. Do you have an acknowledgement, or information you want to spread the word about? Please pass it along. If you have feedback, comments, suggestions, etc. about any of the items you see in our newsletter, we’d love to hear about it!
