Dear Fellow Lions:

I have the honor of being the President of the Woburn Host Lions Club

this year.  I reflect back to how Lions Club has been a part of my life. Growing up in Woburn, the Halloween Parade was a major event.

Rushing downtown after “Trick or Treating” for the parade at night,

shaking hands with Batman and Robin, and being in the parade on a football float, are all memories I treasure.

The Lions Club provided a visual aid machine to my grandfather. An

Italian immigrant who never graduated high school, he read his first

book, The Godfather, at age 86.  The Woburn Host Lions helped my

sisters family in their time of need with donating to her fundraiser

and and the Christmas fund.

The coming year I plan to honor the past with a memory pumpkin float

in the parade, and start a costume “Halloween Walk” at Lions Park. This year is our club’s turn to make a positive impact to work together and

have fun doing it.

I hope to lead us to a great year we can remember and be proud of.

Yours in Lionism,

Frank J. DiMauro

President

Woburn Host Lions Club
