Dear Newcastle Families,

We wanted to take a moment to address the recent changes regarding our Movie Night event. We apologize for the last-minute update and any inconvenience that the cancellation may have caused. We know how much everyone was looking forward to this fun evening!

Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen volunteer and technical issues, we were unable to host the event as planned. However, we're happy to announce that we’re already working hard behind the scenes to ensure Movie Nights will be rescheduled in the new year!

Stay tuned for more details, including the updated date and the exciting movies we have in store!

We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support as we work to bring this fun and memorable event to life. Thank you for being a part of our community, and we look forward to celebrating together soon.

Support the Angel Program 

The holiday season is fast approaching, and we need your help to bring joy to some of our fellow Newcastle Lions. Through the Angel Program, we’re offering a chance to make the season brighter for those in our community who could use a little extra support.

How You Can Help:

  1. Visit the Amazon Wish List: We’ve created a curated list of items that will help fulfill the wishes of fellow Lions. [Click here to view the wish list and learn more.]

  2. Choose an Item to Donate: Select an item from the list that you'd like to contribute. Every gift, big or small, will bring a smile to someone's face.

  3. Spread the Word: Share this post with your friends, family, and coworkers to help us reach as many people as possible.

Why It Matters:

Not everyone has an easy time during the holidays, and your donation can bring warmth, comfort, and joy to someone who needs it most. By supporting the Angel Program, you’re offering more than just gifts—you’re showing care, compassion, and the power of community.

Let’s make this holiday season brighter for our Newcastle Lions. Thank you for your generosity and for spreading holiday cheer!
