and Dave Riach transferred into the
Brussels Club from Hickson several
years ago but unfortunately our club
lost both of these great members
when they relocated to Blyth.
Tamara will always be known as our
first female member and along with
Dave, our first couple.”
Lions Clubs are made up of more
than 1.35 million members in 46,000
clubs found in more than 200
countries around the world. Known
as “Friends of the Blind”, the Lions
have taken on many large scale sight
conservation programs in recent
years in developing countries. As a
result of these initiatives, more than
8 million cataract surgeries have
been funded by Lions Clubs and
more than 14 million children have
been screened to assess the need for
eyeglasses or other vision care
through a program called “Sight for
Kids”. On a more local level, the
Brussels Lions collect used
eyeglasses which are then
distributed to those in need through
Lions International.
The Brussels Lions Club is now
made up of 31 community minded
individuals who share the common
goal of making our community and
our world, a better place. Since
receiving their charter in 1946, they
have served the local community
and have provided funding to
countless worthwhile projects and
organizations. One hundred per cent
of every dollar raised by the local
club is returned to the community.
The club meets on the second and
fourth Mondays from September to
June.
For addition information on the
club or regarding membership,
please contact club President Paul
Mutter at 519-887-6117 or
Membership Chair, Gord Mitchell at

Barn fire
Firefighters from both halls of the Fire Department of North Huron, as well as a tanker from
the Central Huron Fire Department, were on the scene for a barn blaze on Burns Line on Dec.
12 that engulfed and claimed a large pig barn. No livestock was lost, but it took firefighters five
hours to get the fire under control. Special equipment was brought in to remove the roof of
the structure because, as a newer style pig barn, the floors are made of primarily plastic
and aren’t safe to enter once there’s any presence of heat. No injuries were reported. A gallery
of images from the blaze will be available on The Citizen’s website at northhuron.on.ca
