What a fantastic evening at our Lions Club monthly meeting! 🦁✨

We had the joy of sharing our latest club service activities and celebrating a very special milestone—the 93rd birthday of our beloved Lion Blanch! 🎉🎂 Thank you for your lifelong dedication and inspiration to us all.

We were also honored to welcome special guests from the Toronto Nigerian Lions Club. Your presence made our fellowship even stronger and brighter! 🌍❤️

During Lions Hunger Week (Jan 3-11, 2026), the Mississauga Cooksville Lions Club made a generous donation to support the Nahani Way Public School. We are thrilled to share the heartfelt thanks we received from Teacher & Program Lead Danielle Berger-Friedman:

· Your support has directly strengthened the school's Healthy Snack Program, providing better options and keeping snack bins well-stocked throughout the day.
· Staff are noticing more students accessing nutritious snacks, arriving more settled, and focusing better in class.
· "Your willingness to listen, understand our community, and take action has made a real difference for our students and families."

On behalf of the entire club, we extend our deepest thanks to our dedicated Lion members and to the Rama Gaming House for their crucial support of our fundraising efforts. Your contributions and volunteers spirit make this meaningful impact possible.

Together, we are helping ensure students can learn, grow, and participate confidently each day.
