The Newtown Lions club celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in Newtown this year. The motto of the club is “We Serve.” The club raises money for two purposes. One is to contribute to community-wide organizations such as Meals on Wheels, the C.H. Booth Library, and the Cullens Memorial. The second reason is to finance local projects such as Pizza and Politics and Loose the Litter Day.
