The Dunmore Lions and Rotary Clubs, Dunmore Police and Fire Departments once again combined efforts to hold the annual Elite Bunny Hunt on Saturday, April 16, at St. Anthony’s Playground and Fieldhouse.

The event is in its 45th year of service to the children of Dunmore and surrounding areas. Over 750 Easter bags featuring large and small chocolate bunnies and an assortment of candy eggs were distributed. There were Easter basket raffles and photos with the Easter bunny for children 11 and younger.

Additionally, a fundraiser was held during the event in order to donate to the war effort in Ukraine.

The Dunmore Lions and Rotary Clubs joined together to provide an appreciation luncheon for the members of the Dunmore Fire Department for their gallant service in our community in these troubling times.

These firefighters exemplify the courageous conduct required of the Fire Department and continuously demonstrate readiness, performance, and excellence at all times, particularly during the Covid pandemic.

In these challenging times, the Dunmore Lions Club (DLC) has responded to the realities facing this community. Recently, the DLC distributed Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the Dunmore Police and Fire Departments, as well as the Dunmore Health Care Center. 

The items were purchased by the local District 14-H Council from a $10,000 grant issued to our District from the Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF). The LCIF has granted $3.5 million worldwide to provide immediate relief to communities severely impacted by the coronavirus (CO-VID-19) pandemic. This is a classic example of the LCIF giving back to local clubs and communities. 

The Dunmore Lions have also contributed monetarily to the Weinberg Northeast Regional Food Bank, Saint Joseph’s Center and Saint Francis Kitchen.
