Honored to represent the Elmhurst Lions Club in today’s Elmhurst Memorial Day Parade! 🇺🇸

For generations, the Elmhurst Lions Club has proudly served our community through volunteerism, charitable giving, local events, and hands-on support for neighbors in need. Marching today was not only a celebration of our club’s long tradition of service since 1940, but also a moment to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Thank you to all of our dedicated Lions members who continue to live our motto: “We Serve.” We are proud to be part of such a caring and generous Elmhurst community.

What a wonderful evening of fellowship, community, and celebration! 👏

We were honored to welcome Craig Grosshardt, Troop Leader of Scout Troop 82 in Elmhurst, to speak at our meeting this week. It was inspiring to hear about the leadership, service, and opportunities Scouting provides to local youth. 🏕️🦅

A HUGE congratulations to President Doug’s son, Daniel Davies, on achieving the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout with Troop 82! 🎉👏
Daniel completed his Eagle Project as a sophomore at First United Methodist Church, where he built a storage/work table for a classroom, a lasting contribution to the community. 🛠️❤️
Now a senior at York High School, Daniel will attend the University of Tennessee at Knoxville this fall to study Nuclear Engineering! ☢️🎓 What an incredible accomplishment and exciting future ahead!

We are also excited to welcome Lion Jason Leung’s son, Billy, who recently joined Troop 82! 🙌

Congratulations to all the scouts and families for their dedication, leadership, and service to our community! 🌟

Join us in celebrating a very special honor! 🎉
Our Elmhurst Lions Club proudly recognizes Lion Jeri DiPasquale for receiving the **George Lazansky Distinguished Service Award** a prestigious award presented annually to outstanding Lions in District 1-J.

This award not only honors its recipient, but also commemorates District 1-J’s first Governor (1951–52), whose legacy of service continues today. District 1-J has long been a leader in Illinois, supporting those with vision and hearing loss, as well as diabetes.

Lion Jeri was presented with this well-deserved award at the District 1-J Convention held this past weekend at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Carol Stream.

Congratulations, Jeri! Your dedication and service make our community stronger. 💛🦁
