Congratulations Brooklyn Bedford Stuyvesant Lions Club!

Happy Anniversary to the Brooklyn Bedford Stuyvesant Lions Club! Congratulations on 52 years of strengthening and investing in our community!

As one of the first African American clubs, you are a core part of history, as well as a core part of our future. Your long legacy of service and mutual aid has given new generations not only a better world to grow up in, but also a shining example to follow in the active practice of love. 

A special congratulations also to Lion Lottie D. Shannon on receiving the Robert J. Uplinger Distinguished Service Award, and for all her service as Second Vice President for this extraordinary organization.
