Honoring a Life of Service 🦁💛🌎

On Saturday, May 2nd, members of the Greenbelt Lions Club had the honor of officiating a heartfelt Missing Lion Ceremony in memory of our beloved Lion Tim Edwards. Nearly 100 family members, friends, and fellow Lions gathered to celebrate a life so deeply rooted in service and compassion.

Representing the Greenbelt Lions Club were King Lion Trenda Rusher and Lion Margaret Boles, who joined Lion Tims’s wife, Lion Allita Irby, in paying tribute to a man whose commitment to community service never wavered. Lion Tim was remembered not only for his devotion to initiatives such as White Cane Days, Blood Drives, Vision Screenings, and our annual Holiday Gift Wrapping at Greenbelt Plaza Mall—but also for his leadership as a past King Lion of the Greenbelt Lions Club and his remarkable gift for fundraising in support of our mission.

Lion Tim didn’t just wear the Lions emblem—he truly lived what it stands for.

The ceremony concluded with a moving tribute as King Lion Trenda Rusher rang the bell three times, honoring Lion Tim’s legacy of Service, Fellowship, and Friendship.

Though he is no longer with us, his light continues to guide and inspire us all.

Rest in peace, Lion Tim. Your roar will forever echo in our hearts. 🦁💛🌎

Note: If you missed this Memorial Service, another one is scheduled on May 16, 2026, 1-3Pm; Lake of the Woods Church, 1 Church Lane, Locust Grove, VA 22508

On April 25th, Lions from District 22-C brought their signature service to Maryland Day at the University of Maryland. Partnering with students from the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences, Lions from the College Park, Damascus, Greenbelt, and Washington Midtown Clubs provided free vision, hearing, and preschool vision screenings to nearly 100 community members.

The Lions Community Outreach Foundation (LCOF) Health Screening Mobile Unit operated from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., welcoming families as they explored the lively campus event. Parents and children alike stopped by to take advantage of these important health services, making the day both impactful and engaging.

This strong collaboration between Lions and University of Maryland student volunteers created a meaningful day of service—truly a roaring Lions family affair.

Together We Serve 🦁💛🌎
