On May 13, 2026, Trudi Lynn, VIST Coordinator at the New Mexico VA Hospital, invited Lions members to serve the Visual Impaired Veterans at their annual spring BBQ. Lions’ members from Albuquerque Breakfast and Edgewood Clubs reported from 10 am to 2 pm, ready to work.

The monthly meeting was held March 4 at First Baptist/Vista Grande Church in Tijeras with Lion Rena Harris heading the potluck meal. Highlight was the visit and talk by DG Frankie Davis who told about his recent Lions service visits abroad. President Sarah Berry was pleased to report that two guests attending, Wes Harris and Tony Mittas, later submitted their applications for Lions membership. Approval was given through an email vote by Club members.

VDG Joel Edwards was invited to speak at the Portales, NM meeting.

Sometimes the best community service projects are the ones filled with laughter, good food, and a little problem-solving. Recently, the Albuquerque Northeast Lions Club brought all three together for the residents of the Wellsley Home.
