Middletown Lions Welcome Thomas Healy

Tuesday evening, October 17, 2023, the Middletown Lions Club held its monthly dinner meeting at the Athenian Diner in Middletown.

This was an important meeting because a new member would be inducted.

After all old business was completed, it was time to induct Thomas Healy as a Middletown Lion.

Middletown's Zone 7 Chairperson, Janis Esty was unable to attend so Zone 8 Chairperson, Howard Geltman who was also an Associate Member was asked to perform the induction ceremony by club President, Marty Knight.

We had an almost full house with two members Membership Chairperson and Immediate Past President, Ellie Paules and lion Rich Pelletier attended via Zoom.

Zone Chairperson, Howard asked Thomas Healy and his sponsor, Marty Knight to come forward and the formal induction ceremony was started.
