Recently, two benches were donated to local parks by members of the Chesapeake Southside Lions Club. The Lions operate sight and hearing screening programs in the community, and provide international crisis relief to help those in greatest need. The club was chartered in April 1948, and meets the first and third Thursday of each month. Anyone interested in visiting the club, or becoming a member may contact them via their Facebook page, or phone Lions President Pat Montgomery at 240-561-8742.
