The New Member Achievement Award was instituted in 2004 to give special recognition to a member with five or fewer years of membership for outstanding contributions to the Club.

  Lion Mark Piccoli is our New Member Achievement Award recipient for 2008-09.

    " I've been a member of the Darien Lions Club since 2004.  I have chaired the Fourth of July Parade committee, been a captain on the Big Raffle Committee and twice a captain for the Calling Committee.   For the 2009 / 2010 year I am the Calling Committee chairman.  I have been a Darien resident for 24 years, married to Karen for 29 years and have two grown daughters.  As you can see by the photo, I enjoy sailing in my spare time."
