CLUB
HISTORY The Essex
Lions Club was chartered on February 17, 1955 as part of the largest service
organization in the world-Lions Clubs International. We are part of
Massachusetts District 33N.
Our motto of
"We Serve" and logo of L.I.O.N.S. (Liberty, Intelligence, Our Nation's
Safety) have guided us through almost fifty years of service to our community,
state, national, and international brothers and sisters. Essex is a
small town with a population of less than 3000 people and until 1997 had no high
school of its own. As a result, the town students would, through various means
such as school choice, tuition programs with adjoining towns or private schools,
be split up throughout the North Shore area to attend high school. Thirty years
ago the Essex Lions Club started an annual Senior Recognition Dinner to reunite
all graduating high school seniors along with their parents and former
elementary school teachers for a trip down memory lane, At the dinner,
presentations of local scholarships were made, and last year the scholarships
were in excess of $20,000.00. Senior Recognition Night ************************************************************************************************** FUND
