After all the shaking of the bushes for ticket sales and basket sponsors, we started Friday night with all expenses paid in full.  So whatever was spent that evening was profit and that was a good feeling.  That good feeling could only come from the selflessness of individual Lions who sponsored baskets, sold abd bought tickets and rendered their time and energies on Thursday and Friday night.  Thank you, Lions, so much for your support.  Should anyone who sponsored a basket need a written receipt,, please contact Lion Mary Frances.  Letters and acknowledgement of sponsors/donations were mailed to non-Lions.  Should you see Fireman Ronnie Watkins, thank him for being our bingo caller.  And also, Fireman Mike Zeigler, thank him for taking care of our games of chance as well as helping with bingo winners on the floor.  There were also other fireman who helped with setting up of the tables and chairs as well as putting the chairs away. They made it easy for us!

Lion Tess Gladhill filled the baskets with the help of Mary Kay and Tastefully Simple consultant’s donations.  Lions Su and Shye donated a basket of wine and accessories and Lions Rusty and Dee donated a wheelbarrow full of wine, autumn décor , cheeses and accessories which was a separate raffle. Partner-In-Service, Jennifer Molesworth, worked packaging the bingo game cards and Special cards as well as did all the mailing of the fliers.

We sold 130 tickets for our bingo, 22 Lions put in approximately 200 hours on the project and we earned a profit of $4900.  WOW, Can’t believe it!

Thanks to all of you, Lions and Partners-in-service, for your support.  You are the best!
