Adams Lions Club Makes Anniversary Donations

ADAMS — To celebrate the 85th anniversary of receiving its charter, the Adams Lions Club awarded a total of $8,500 — $100 for each year of the club's existence — to four local organizations. 
 
These awards are in addition to the club's annual donations, such as for scholarships for local high school graduates and events for children and senior citizens.
 
Adams Beautification, Adams Fire Department, Adams Forest Wardens, and Adams Free Library received the awards, which were presented at an 85th anniversary celebration Nov. 21 at the Bounti-Fare restaurant.
 
"The motto of Lionism is 'We Serve,'" Adams Lions Club President Peter Tomyl said. "What better way to celebrate our anniversary than serving local organizations in need of support?"
 
Adams Beautification will use its grant to purchase flowers, mulch and other supplies for the public areas, such as the Route 8 rotary, Visitors Center and Adams Train Station, that it decorates seasonally to make the town more welcoming and attractive.
 
The Adams Fire Department and Forest Wardens will use their grants to upgrade equipment through the purchase of smooth-bore nozzles that reach farther than current nozzles and are easier for firefighters to handle, said Fire Chief John Pansecchi.
 
The Adams Free Library will use its grant to present two of the seven events scheduled as part of its 2025 summer reading program for children. The Science Heroes will present its Experiment Lab program for readers in Grades 6 to 12, and a former competitor in the Rubik's Cube World Championship will offer a workshop for kindergartners and up about how to crack the code of the Rubik's Cube.
