On the first Monday of every month, the Churchville Lions Club continues its service of providing a dinner at the Ronald McDonald House on Westmoreland Drive in Rochester. In April of 2022, the Ronald McDonald House agreed to allow the Churchville Lions to cook dinners there on a selected basis, providing chicken casseroles for the hungry volunteers who clean the rooms, gardens, kitchens, and common areas, as well as managing the gardens and driving the vans.
The most recent dinner in June was prepared by Lions Marty Molinari, Joe DeLeo, and Doug Eisele. They filled three large trays with cut chicken covered with Swiss cheese and a special sauce, then mushrooms, assorted vegetables, and flavored croutons smothered with melted butter. Marty has been working every month since startup, guiding his helper Lions and members of the LEO Club when available, to ensure the folks at the Ronald McDonald House can enjoy a hearty meal. They have expressed their gratitude for the Lions’ efforts, and say they never have to worry about leftovers.
