2013 CANDY DAY A SWEET SUCCESS

LIONS CANDY DAY A SWEET SUCCESS

Freeport Lions Club collected Candy Day donations for visually- and hearing-impaired people in front of Cub Foods, ShopKo, and Sullivan’s Foods on October 4 and 5, 2013. Candy Day Chairman, Terry Anderson, said the combination of good weather and special retail sales at the participating stores helped draw the public, and achieved a record total donations compared to each of the last 10 years.

Lions volunteering and taking turns at each of the three locations during the 2-day collection period were Terry Anderson, Brian Burke, Roland Caruso, Rick Eastman, Kevin Grande, Bert Kersten, Rich Montgomery, Troy Pettis, Paul Rampenthal, Joe Serafini, Rebecca Shriver, Dave Snyders, Paul Tormohlen, Darla VanBuskirk and Dennis Zimmerman.

In addition, thirteen Freeport High School Student Council volunteers gave their time freely. Thanks to all.
