Fort Myers Beach Lions inducted 5 new members at their most recent meeting: Bill Floyd; Carol Heath; Nick Kastan; Linda Floyd; and Sheila Kelley. Five other new, in process and transferring members have also recently joined the Beach Lions.

The Beach Lions recently held the first annual Fort Myers Beach Open Putt Putt Tournament at Jungle Golf. The event raised about $600 to fund the Beach Lions Eye care Assistance Fund for students at the Beach Elementary School in need. Event Chairman Jack Scott noted, “This fund is in response to the local community needs and requests. It is our hope that each year this fund will help those local kids needing eye care to achieve more in school.”

The Beach Lions’ next big event will be the 53rd annual Fort Myers Beach Lions Shrimp Festival to be held in March. For a complete up to date schedule and sponsorship information please visit www.beachshrimpfestival.com and for information on joining the Lions please log on to www.fmblions.com.

Beach Lions meet the second and fourth Thursdays of each month with a 6:30 p.m. social and 7 p.m. dinner meeting. For information email info@fmblions.com.
