Lions Club of Chili starts new year with award presentation

The Lions Club of Chili recently presented the Robert J. Uplinger Distinguished Service Award to Calnon & Cilano DDS in recognition of their support, commitment, and dedication to the Lions Club of Chili Holiday Food Basket Program. 

The Robert J. Uplinger Distinguished Service Award was established in 1993 and honors outstanding Lions, non-Lions, and organizations who perform exemplary service to a Club or to their community. The honorees possess the highest examples of character, purpose, and service. The award cannot be purchased by an individual, but must be presented as a recognition of the recipient’s service. 

Calnon & Cilano has helped support the Lions Club of Chili in its Holiday Baskets Program for a few years. In December 2021, their office shopped for 20 children. Among the parents’ requests were winter coats and shoes/boots. Calnon & Cilano graciously filled all of the requests and wrapped all of the gifts. 

The Lions Club of Chili is always looking for energetic, invested community members who are interested in making Chili a better place. For more information on how to become a Lion, contact Lion Bert at 261-0743.
