\nRUISLIP LIONS CLUB NEWSLETTER \u2013 MAY 2017

\nRuislip Lions find an Uxbridge man in a million! Do you remember
\nSupermarket Sweep on the TV? Last month Ruislip Lions trolley dash (alias Supermarket Sweep) at Waitrose Supermarket uncovered an Uxbridge man with a heart of gold. During the week prior to the Trolley Dash Ruislip Lions members, and Rory, their famous mascot, were on duty at Ruislip Waitrose frantically selling raffle tickets for the \u2018dash\u2019 to raise money for local charities. What was that coveted prize for potential\u00a0raffle winners? Yes, it was a challenging 2 Minutes dash around the store to collect all the goodies the winner had earmarked.
\nThen comes the twist! Our winner David Weatherhead, a Hillingdon resident, came up with the idea that he would like to donate his winning \u2018dash\u2019 to THE UXBRIDGE FOODBANK- what a man, so generous of spirit something not seen often these days. Uxbridge Food bank had collected \u00a3135.00 worth of foods desperately needed by the food bank.<\/p>\n

PLANT SALE
\nEarly this month we held our annual Plant Sale, it is 20 years old and still attracting the crowds, making over \u00a32,500, a brilliant profit for our local charities. Lions worked closely to provide an excellent morning for gardening enthusiasts from across Ruislip and Eastcote, which included their excellent home-grown stall. A real bonus was the fabulous support from the Waitrose Community Team. Lions were out in force from the early morning – thanks to all for a great result. Thanks also to Ruislip Rugby club, generous supporters of our plant sale, for providing the space to run the sale.<\/p>\n

EASTER EGGS
\n\"\"
\nThis year marks the 20th Charity Easter Egg Hunt for the Club. Managers and Landlords of local pubs and clubs are invited to take part in the event, Ruislip Lions supply a magnificent chocolate Easter Egg to each venue who then sell 100 raffle tickets at \u00a31.00 each, the prize being the Easter Egg. Then after Easter the money is collected from the venues. The net profit from this year\u2019s event was \u00a3791.14. The picture shows Ellie one of the youngest winners.<\/p>\n
