Apalachin Lions Den

by Donald Castellucci, Jr., Secretary

• Our Christmas basket program was a success. We served 69 families comprised of 292 people, distributing two tons of potatoes, 65 turkeys, and flowers for senior citizen families. We spent $4,900, of which $900 came from local donations.

• Our Christmas sight seal program was also a success. We brought in approximately $3,500. This, combined with our $6,000 Back-to-School program enabled us to donate more than $10,000 back to the community. Without the donations of members of the community, we would not be able to provide this service. For that, we thank you.

• Hope to see you at the Annual Lions Club Breakfast on Sunday, March 19, from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Apalachin Elementary School. You can get tickets from any Lions Club Member or at the door.

• Look for us to be cleaning your highway next month.

• We are always looking for new members. Contact any member of the Lions Club or e-mail lions@tiogaweb.com.
