Large Crowd Attends Orange Lions Event

Past Lion's Club President Marianne Miller had a busy day on Friday, on the way to set up for the Orange Lions Wine Tasting, she witnessed a multiple car accident on Orange Center Road and had to stay around to provide a statement.

Then she hurried to the Community Center to prepare for the event, then, after everything was up and running, she took the microphone and sang Patsy Cline's "Crazy" backed by the talented Craig Calistro.

The Lions motto is "We Serve" and our local Lions live by that motto every day serving the community in many ways.

All proceeds from the winter wine and beer tasting charity event, which is sponsored by Forest Package Store, West Haven, goes to the Lions local charities.

A wide variety of beer, wine, and flavored vodka were served and guests enjoyed light hors d'oeuvres and a raffle.

Forest Package Store offers a discount on any wine or beer ordered that evening.
