Scott Brown to Keynote Nashua Lions 90th Anniversary Event

Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, a member and past president of the Wrentham, Mass., Lions Club, will be the keynote speaker at the Nashua Lions Club 90th Anniversary Dinner, September 14, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

“We are honored that Senator Brown accepted our invitation and look forward to hearing how being a Lion has played a part in his life,” club president Elaine Lecius said. 

In addition to his work for the people of Massachusetts, Brown co-sponsored legislation along with Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) to authorize a commemorative coin for the Lions 100th anniversary in 2017.

In fact, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and then Congressmen Charles Bass and Frank Guinta all signed on to the legislation, with New Hampshire’s delegation being the first in the country to fully support the bill.

A 23-year member of the Wrentham Lions, Brown served as president and secretary and is still active today. Joining him on the program will be newly elected Lions Clubs International Director John Pettis Jr. from Merrimac, Ma.

The Nashua Lions were chartered on September 26, 1923 and are the second oldest club in the state. Over the years they have returned over $1-million in eye care and services to residents of the community. Their most significant projects have included construction of The Friendship Club in the mid-50s and Melanie’s room in 1993.
