Our Annual Night of Giving was held on May 26, 2011 Another very successful year was proven once again. We distributed over thousands of fundraiser dollars that we collected throughout the year, to Local groups, State Charities and Local Organizations. Funds that came from the monthly Pasta Suppers, Breakfast Buffets, Bread & Cookie Dough Sales, Plant Sales, a Walk-A-Thon, T-Shirt Sales, a Valentine Dance, Bottle & Can pick-ups, Yard Sales, Misc. Raffles, Donations, Used Clothing Sales, and Lions Placemat Sales, all supported the Gifts that were given out. Thanks to all of the dedicated Lions and Patrons who participated throughout the year to help raise these funds.
