Lions Club Continues Service, Posts Fundraiser BY FRANCINE FULTON
M
embers of the Paradise Township Lions Club are continuing their charitable efforts in the community, as well as preparing for an upcoming fundraiser - a soup and sandwich sale. Nov. 22 was especially busy for the club as members manned a table at the Leacock Presbyterian Church Christmas bazaar, where they distributed information about the club along with free candy. They also invited the community to attend the soup and sandwich sale, which will be held on Saturday, Dec. 20, from 11 a.m. until sold out, in the Community Building in Paradise Park, 6 London Vale Road, Gordonville. Ham and cheese sandwiches will be sold, along with chicken corn soup by the quart. Food items will be takeout only, and a drivethrough service will be available.

Those who would like to order food in advance may send a message to the club on its Facebook page. “We make gallons and gallons of soup,” said club member Heather Valudes. “The night before we get together and do all of the prep for the soup. We chop up chicken, hard-boiled eggs and onions and cook it on Saturday morning. The crew starts early on Saturday, so it’s super fresh. Our chicken corn soup recipe is really good.” Also on Nov. 22, Lions Club members helped to distribute Thanksgiving meals at The Factory Ministries, where more than 7,500 pounds of food was donated to 230 families in need. The Lions donated nearly 300 pounds of pumpkin pies, while o ther communi t y donat ions included hams, apples, turkeys, yams, potatoes, butter, turkey pans and fresh rolls.
