Nobleton Lions

Early-bird last call

Just a reminder that the Nobleton Lions Club annual draw and Fund-Raising Gala is being held June 14, but the extra early-bird draw, new this year, is fast approaching.

The early-bird prize draw will be held May 19, for a cash prize of $1,000. Tickets must be purchased by May 16 to be eligible. The draw itself has changed from the elimination-type format. This means that unless you've already won some cash, you're in the draw and eligible for the big prizes right to the very end.

This year, the ticket price has dropped to $40, and tickets are now for a single person not a couple, so singles pay less, and a couple buying two tickets will have two chances at the cash prizes which total more than $9,000. Tickets are now available from local businesses, and from Lions members, often at the Nobleton Plaza. If you have a "usual source" for your tickets, please don't hesitate to get in touch before the early-bird deadline.

Where else can you have an exciting night out, not have to travel too far, while enjoying a hot dinner, dancing to DJ music, cash bar, and perhaps even pick up a bargain at the silent auction - all for $40 per person? This event is the major fund-raiser for the club, and proceeds from the event go to sponsor numerous organizations in and around town. Your support is greatly appreciated by the Lions, and those who we support, in keeping with the club's motto, "We Serve."
