Lions Club Installs New Officers, Collects Eyeglasses
Riding a wave of female officers over the years, Suzanne Corrie was elected as President.
At a recent Norwalk Lions meeting a new slate of officers was installed for the administration beginning July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.
Suzanne Corrie was elected as President and installed into office by Linda Maggs outgoing District Governor who also happens to be her cousin.
The club has had many female officers over the years. As a member for nine years Suzanne is the first female President of Norwalk CT Lions Club.
Corrie will preside over her first official meeting as President on Thursday September 5, 2013 at 7:00pm at the Norwalk Inn and Conference Center and meet every first and third Thursday from September to June for any one interested in becoming a member.
