Avec nos excuses pour le retard de cette publication, le Club Lions de Buckingham désire remercier deux commanditaires en or pour leur grande générosité, soit la Fondation des familles Leblanc et Carle Ford, qui auront permis aux Lions de distribuer plus de 350 paniers de Noël, en plus de visiter des malades et des aînés dans le cadre de leur blitz annuel tenu en décembre dernier.
C’est grâce à de tels généreux donateurs comme ces familles que les Lions, année après année, peuvent venir en aide à tant de gens défavorisés. Un gros merci!

Grande générosité du Club Lions de Buckingham
Au cours des derniers jours, le Club Lions de Buckingham a de nouveau démontré sa grande générosité envers les malades de notre région en faisant plusieurs dons majeurs en équipement médical à deux établissements du domaine de la santé.
Tout d’abord, le 3 février dernier, le président Denis Roy, accompagné des Lions Denis Bédard et Ed d’Entremont, s’est rendu à la Maison des aînés d’Angers pour faire un don majeur, en partenariat avec les Caisses Desjardins Petite-Nation et de la Lièvre, accompagné de représentants de la Fondation Santé de Papineau et d’administrateurs de l’établissement.
Les donateurs ont remis aux dirigeants de la Maison des aînés l’équipement du système OBEI, qui sert à stimuler les sens et les facultés des résidents, principalement ceux atteints de maladies dégénératives comme l’Alzheimer ou de maladies similaires.
Pour les Lions, ce don de 12,450 $ provenait des profits engendrés au bureau de la SAAQ de Buckingham, dont le club est mandataire.
Puis, le lendemain, 4 février, de nouveau, les Lions Denis Roy, président, Richard Besner et Ed d’Entremont se sont rendus aux locaux du CLSC de la Basse-Lièvre où, de concert avec la Fondation Santé de Papineau, ils ont remis pour plus de 20 000 $ en équipement médical afin de soutenir l’établissement de la rue Georges. Leurs dons comprenaient un otoscope mural, une civière, un fauteuil de traitement, un appareil de pression électrique portatif et un bladder scan avec support.
Ce don a été rendu possible grâce à l’encouragement démontré par les acheteurs de notre tirage annuel, survenu le 17 octobre dernier, dont tous les profits furent investis dans ce don.

Dévoués et généreux nos Lions
Fondé en 1934, la première activité du Club Lions de Buckingham à l’époque avait été de délivrer des denrées alimentaires à des familles dans le besoin.
Nous sommes fiers que pour une 91e année consécutive, les membres du Club Lions ont pu poursuivre cette tradition, épaulés par une armée de bénévoles. En effet, le 21 décembre dernier ce sont 355 paniers de Noël (denrées) qui ont été livrés à des familles défavorisées ou des gens seuls et dans le besoin par les Lions.
Le temps des Fêtes en étant un de partage, d’entraide et d’amour, l’aide des Lions avait débuté la fin de semaine des 13 et 14 décembre alors qu’ils sont allés visiter nos malades au 2e étage du CH Papineau, les résidents du CHSLD de la Lièvre et ceux de la Maison des aînés d’Angers ainsi que les résidents en RPA privés. Au total ce sont 254 personnes qui se sont vues gâtées par les Lions.
De telles activités ne pourraient se tenir sans l’apport important de donateurs, de commerçants ou de compagnies tous plus généreux les uns que les autres.

Inauguration of the new Lions Club executive board for the year 2025-26
The inauguration of the new board of directors of the Buckingham Lions Club took place on Wednesday, June 18th at the Domaine de l’Ange Gardien.
In front of about sixty members and guests, Lion Norm Mac Millan, senior member of the club, had the honor of introducing the new President of the club, Lion Denis Roy. Before administering his oath of acceptance as president of the Lions, he wanted to introduce our new president to the guests, emphasizing that Lion Denis had a lot to live up to since his father, the late Lion Louis-Denis Roy, had been president in 1987-88 and that many of the members present had had the pleasure of working with him over the years. He also emphasized the presence of the sponsor in the club of our new president, ex-Lion Richard Chartrand, inviting him to return to the club even if it is 6 months a year, he who spends his winters in the warmth of Florida.
Then, the transfer of power took place between our new president and the outgoing president, Lion Jocelyn Fréchette. The latter gave us an overview of his year as president, mentioning that over the past year, the Buckingham Lions have donated more than $241,000 in various donations to the community, mainly in health, education and food, mainly through the delivery of more than 400 Christmas baskets to disadvantaged families.
Then our new president, Lion Denis Roy, in a short but heartfelt speech, mentioned the main points he intends to give to the club during the coming year.
A wonderful evening, the Lions having been received with great warmth and enthusiasm by the entire staff of the Domaine de L’Ange-Gardien in their brand new banquet hall.

Buckingham Lions celebrate 90 years of history
It was last Saturday, November 30, that the members of the Buckingham Lions Club celebrated their 90th anniversary as a service club.
In front of nearly 200 people invited and gathered at the Knights of Columbus hall, nothing was left to chance to properly mark this anniversary.
Welcome cocktail, projection on giant screens of the history of the club, gourmet meal served by the St-Estèphe Caterer with background music from the Daniel Lafleur Duo; then the beautiful story of the Buckingham Lions Club, founded in December 1934, was told to them. First in turn by the master of ceremonies and former president of the club, Ken MacMillan. Then the current president, Lion Jocelyn Fréchette introduced the many dignitaries present and reminded us of certain important moments of the club, emphasizing in passing that last year the Lions had given more than $225,000 in various donations helping the most deprived, supporting the health and education sectors among others.
He was followed on the microphone by the Governor of District A-4 of Lion International, Lion Roxanne Backes, who came to highlight the importance that the Buckingham club had in its community.
The final word went to the president of this committee, Lion Norm MacMillan, a member for 56 years who recounted the broad outlines of the club's history. Remembering in passing that the first activity that the founding members of 1934 had created was to feed families in need. 90 years later, this uninterrupted activity over the years has been the one that has united the Lions and the community. This year, more than 445 food baskets will be delivered to families in need or single people on December 22.
This grandiose evening could not have taken place without exceptional sponsors whom he wanted to thank: Caisses Desjardins au Cœur des Vallées and its CEO. Roger Lafrenière, the Deputy Minister of Papineau- Mathieu Lacombe, the Canadian Tire of Buckingham and its owner Mr. Jean Leblond, Mr. Hugues Carle of Carle Ford, Pharmacies Jean Coutu and their new owners Fouad Farah and Joanne Richer without counting our friends the Knights of Columbus and their Grand Knight Claude Masson who for two days provided us with their reception rooms free of charge.
On behalf of the organizing committee made up of Lions Norm MacMillan, Richard Besner, Armand Renaud, Mario Ouimet, Guy Saumur, Guy Charbonneau, Mathieu Daoust, Alex Mauzeroll and all the members of the Buckingham Lions Club, thank you to all of you merchants, businesses and generous donors for supporting us for 90 years. We guarantee that our organization will still be present for dozens more years; ready to help the most disadvantaged in our society.
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF YOUR HEART!

A Memorable Christmas: Thanks to the Lions and Volunteers!
Lion President Luc-André Faubert would like to thank all the Lions members and VOLUNTEERS who participated directly or indirectly in THE SUCCESS of the weekend for the creation and delivery of Christmas baskets.More than 125 volunteers worked on this great success THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
We delivered 355 Christmas baskets, several gifts for children and many diapers. 355 baskets represent more than 1000 people who will have a good meal at Christmas.
Thanks to your participation this feat was accomplished between 8:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Sunday.
Special thanks to Lion Philippe Goulet; conductor of all the logistics of the preparation and deliveries of Christmas baskets who made everything run smoothly.
Lion Jean Guy Laframboise; for the preparation of the “RUN” for delivery so that we do not walk from Buckingham to Angers for each delivery.
Lion Jean Paul Bisson; who again this year was the bridge between volunteers and the delivery of Christmas baskets so that everything went smoothly.
Leo Horace Gauthier; our patriarch who at the age of 94 wanted to participate in this activity, what a great proof of Lionism. Thank you Lion Horace.
Obviously I saved a special thank you for Lion Yves Goulet and his partner Ginette Haspect.
For more than a month, Ginette has been buying gifts, going around the region's shops, EVERY DAY so that we can offer ALL young people a gift for the holidays.
I would also like to point out that Lion Yves and Ginette have been sacrificing their living room for a month for welcoming and wrapping gifts and with all this dedication Ginette takes the time to prepare us good desserts for Saturday and Sunday THANK YOU.
Lion Yves with his dedication for several years and especially in the last month has been working to ensure we have all the necessary equipment so that we can accomplish this feat that we have done AND MUCH MORE. Although he passed the committee to Lion Jocelyn Fréchette who is learning on the job, what all this involves and who has devoted himself completely, Lion Yves responded, once again, to ensure that we lack of nothing.
No member of the Buckingham Lion Club seeks glory, but I thought some thanks was necessary.
Now all that remains is for me to wish you and your family happy holidays with friends.
Thank you on my behalf and on behalf of your management office for your support throughout the year.
Take advantage of this time to rest and return to the Lions Club in good health.
Lion President,
Luc-André Faubert
