The Mane Growl April 2026 (Abridged)
Two New Members Inducted
The Fairmont Lions Club welcomed Debra and Eden McDonald as new mem-bers who were officially inducted into the club by Past District Governor Bob Moffett on April 9th at the club meeting. Fred Cannon was their sponsor and participated in the induction ceremony by presenting their Lions pins, Mission 1.5 pins and membeship certificates.

Rail Trail Cleanup Removed Plenty of Trash
The Fairmont Lions Club and Midtown Leo Club members and other volunteers cleaned litter from the West Fork River/ Ralph S. LaRue Rail Trail on Saturday, April 4, begin-ning at 2:00 pm. Those working the Monongah end spent two hours filling bags, while those working the Fairmont (Norway trailhead) end of the trail spent three hours removing tires and a bicycle along with several bags of litter.
Because of a landslide near Monongah, this section was closed last season and the club cleaned a different section of the trail. That may have contributed to the increased amount of trash collected this time.
The Lions, Leos and other volunteers cleaned approximately 2.5 miles of trail..
