FAMILY FUN DAY AT THE PARK
Family fun day in Bergenfield at Veterans Memorial Park June 8,2025
Memorial Day Parade May26,2025
Memorial Day is a celebration honoring the hundreds of thousands of American men and women who have sacrificed their lives defending our freedoms and the ideals embedded in the Declaration of Independence and our United States Constitution. We must never forget that liberty comes with a high cost.
Over years, the Lions Club has recognized their sacrifice with floats commemorating all who have made the supreme sacrifice, the branches of service, Gold Star Families, and some specific events in military history.

SPECIAL THANKS TO THE NORTH WARREN LEO’S CLUB AND NORTH WARREN LIONS CLUB OF COLUMBIA, NEW JERSEY
Clothing Drive is a fundraiser Bergenfield Lions Club started to raise funds for our Sight projects.
This year we continued the project and had extra help from the North Warren Leo Club. They delivered two pallets of coats and clothing from one of their projects. Robert Brandt, President of the North Warren Lions Club and Michael Licata, the Leo Advisor said coats were for people in need. Because of the Covid environment, they wanted only new items.
We told them of our drive and they gave them to us with a proviso that any proceeds would go to Sight Projects. We appreciate the generous donation of the coats by the North Warren Leo Club.
