Christmas Luncheon and Auction

December 13, 2011
Arrowhead Golf Club

 

Our Christmas luncheon was held at the Arrowhead Golf Club.  In addition to it being a wonderful social event, we enjoyed a fine lunch and we had a fun and successful raffle session and auction with a very humorous Mike Gresk handling the emcee job.

Each member was asked to donate a raffle prize or bags of food worth $25.00 or more.  Many Lions brought both. 

The food filled up a van and we also received checks for $150.00.  The money along with the food was donated to the People’s Resource Center in Wheaton.

The auction raised $1,550.00 and raffle ticket sales raised $1,721.00 for a total of $3,271.00.  This money will be used for aid to people with sight and hearing disabilities in our community.

Again a thank you to our Auction Item Donors.
