MADISON LIONS ART AND CARDS EVENT

The Madison Lions now are proud to offer collectible prints of watercolor artworks of the late local artist George Love, and of other local artists, in a variety of traditional winter scenes and in a newly released assortment of summer scenes. The selection of Christmas cards and note paper has also been expanded to include color versions. Personalized cards for business or personal use are available. Write to us at "Madison Lions Club, P.O. Box 99, Madison, CT 06443."
To the Editor:

The Madison Lions Club annual holiday offering of cards, notes and framed prints was once again a huge success. We are grateful for the talent of the late George Love who (for over 20 years) donated his artwork depicting scenes of Madison to the Madison Lions Club. We are also grateful to the ten local artists who generously donated the use of some of their artwork to help the Madison Lions carry on the tradition. Last but not least, we are thankful to the people in the community who through donations have acquired the work of George Love and the ten artists who succeeded him. It is through these generous gifts that the club is able to continue to donate to several organizations that help many in need.

These organizations include the Lions Eye Research Foundation, Oak Hill Services for the Blind, FIDELCO Seeing Eye Dog Training, Low Vision Centers and Camp Hemlock for Special Children that respond to those who have vision problems. The Madison Lions Club is also able to donate to local organizations including Habitat for Humanity, Madison Community Services, Police Toy Fund, the Baldwin Food for the Needy Program, Disaster Relief, Concerts on the Green, Scranton Public Library, and youth organizations such as the Substance Abuse Program, Big Brothers and Sisters, Bikes for Kids, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, Little League and scholarships for Daniel Hand High School seniors.

On behalf of the Madison Lions Club we ask that you join us in applauding and thanking everyone who supported our annual holiday offer of cards, notes and prints.
