LOW Has Its First Winner In Lions Of Virginia Raffle

Lake of the Woods finally has a winner in the annual Lions of Virginia Foundation raffle that’s been awarded for many years at the Lions state convention.

Florence Rose, a former member of the LOW Lions Club, won the $500 third place award at the recent convention in Richmond.  Her’s was one of the 1,550 LOVF raffle tickets sold in the LOW Lions fundraiser this past year.

“When I’ve bought the raffle tickets over the years, I’ve always wished that someone from Lake of the Woods would be a winner,” Florence says.  “It was really exciting when it turned out to be me.”

The $10,000 first prize was won by Dean Dauaros of Williamsburg.  Second place – also worth $500 – went to Rusty Proctor of Mount Jackson.

Tickets for next year’s raffle will be available from Lions members from August 1 through next April.

LOW Lions Warn Fourth Graders About Dangers of Loud Noise

During April, the Lake of the Woods Lions Club conducted “Dangers of Loud Noise” presentations for all fourth grade children in four Orange County Elementary Schools -- Gordon-Barbour, Locust Grove, Lightfoot and Orange.

The Virginia Lions Hearing Foundation has found that fourth grade children are at the best time in their growth development to receive such hearing information, before permanent and long-lasting damage may be done through exposure to loud noise.

The presentations were conducted by Lion Sue Simmons, in cooperation with the Orange County school system.  A total of 345 students participated this year, bringing to over 5,400 the number of students reached in the 13-year-old program.
