Professional Profiles 

“I joined the Aston Lioness’ because of what they do in service for others, particularly their involvement in working with those who are visually and hearing impaired.  The mission of our club is to assist those in our community by organizing fundraising events.  The monies generated from our fundraisers give us the opportunity to donate needed funds to support services for a variety of causes within Aston Township.  The bond that exists between us, as fellow Lioness members, is a bond that carries over into other areas of over lives.  We support one another through our friendship and shared mission to service within community,” states Ilene M. Haschak, president of Aston Lioness Club.

   Ilene Haschak a 1955 graduate of St. Francis in Wilmington, Delaware worked for 34 years as a registered nurse, retiring in 1984.  An Aston resident for many years, she and her husband celebrated their 50^th wedding anniversary last March and, at that time, was presented with a proclamation by Commissioner James McGinn at the commissioners’ monthly meeting.
