The Middletown Lions Club was formed in 1946 and has since helped the blind and underprivileged in their community through initiatives like Camp Happiness for the blind, an annual golf outing, and superbowl pancake breakfast fundraisers. For over 70 years, generations of Middletown Lions have carried on the vision of Lions International founder Melvin Jones to serve the needs of their community through sight programs, disaster relief, and supporting those in need.
