Now in its eighth year, the Herb Boden- siek Golf Classic began as a social gather- ing and has grown into one of the club’s most important events each year. “In addition to honoring SRV Lion Herb Bodensiek, the golf outing has become an important means of helping our club to fulfill its core mission,” said Commit- tee Chairperson/Lion Roger Barr. “The club provides needed funds to charities that serve the blind and visually impaired as well as those volunteer organizations assisting people with other health-related issues.” Classified as a 501C(3) non-profit entity, the Saddle River Valley Lions Club has raised and distributed more than $2,000,000 during its 50-year history. One hundred percent of its net proceeds go directly to the charities the club supports with none of the funds raised being used to meet administrative expenses, a cost borne by the Lions.
