The Westfield Lions Club’s regular “Ecology Tour” to help clean up Union Street from State Road 32 to 161st Street took place on Saturday, Nov. 2.

A total of 14 warmly dressed Lions took off from the Clubhouse after a snack of coffee and donuts to clean debris along the Westfield roads.

The club has been doing this regularly for several years. It’s another example of the little things the club does to make Westfield a great place to live.
