Giving Thanks for Many Holiday Helpers
Monday, November 30, 2009
Our efforts this Thanksgiving to help feed the needy of Livingston County were incredibly successful, thanks to the hard work and dedication of many volunteers. Through all of our combined efforts as a community, we were able to provide over 150 families with a Thanksgiving dinner this holiday season.
We would especially like to thank the following volunteers who really went above and beyond the call of duty in assisting our Lions Club in helping others:
- Cub Scout Pack 366 (from Hutching Elementary)
- Cub Scout Pack 347 (from Hornung Elementary)
- The volunteers from Keller-Williams Realty in Brighton
- The Brighton High School Varsity Hockey Team
- Gleaners Food Bank, and all of their dedicated workers
- Captain Jenny & The Salvation Army
Our work this Thanksgiving was so successful thanks to all of these hard-working folks and the many Lions who donated their time, money, and services, that we are making plans to expand our operation to include some Christmas assistance to the Salvation Army.
Photos of this year's Thanksgiving projects are available in the photo section of this website. We hope everyone had a happy and safe Thanksgiving, and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!
Skate On Your Can at Rollerama
Monday, October 5, 2009
Calling all kids and families, come on down to Rollerama II in Brighton for "Skate On Your Can" night on Wednesday, November 4 from 6:30pm-8:30pm. It is a night of free roller skating, where admission will only cost you 3 cans of food or non-perishable items per person (skate rental extra). This great event is sponsored by the Brighton Lions Club and The Salvation Army. The food collected at "Skate On Your Can" will go to Gleaners Food Bank in Howell for Thanksgiving, where us Lions will hand out Thanksgiving meal baskets to those in need in Livingston County. It's a chance to make a difference in the Livingston County community, and have a FUN nigh of skating!
If you have any questions about the event, you can submit questions to this website (and they will go straight to the event chairperson!) or you can contact Rollerama at (810) 227-5230. We hope to see you there!
