2016 CANDY DAY PREPARATIONS

Freeport Lions Terry Anderson, Sandy Janicke and Joe Serafini attended the District 1D Candy Day Jamboree in Leaf River IL on 8/27/16.  They also submitted over 800 pairs of eyeglasses, 4 hearing aids and 10 ink cartridges from the club’s collection points to the Lions of Illinois Foundation for recycling.

LIF Executive Director, Mario Gumino, gave the opening remarks and asked all clubs to work hard to make their Candy Day fundraiser a success.  Lunch was served to over 60 Lions from the District.

Candy Day funds raised by Illinois Lions Clubs help offset LIF expenses for Camp Lions and children who are vision and hearing challenged children.

Freeport Lions scheduled two days for their Candy Day fundraiser on September 30^th and October 1^st with Freeport collection points at Cub Foods, Shopko, Sullivan's Foods and the Sav-A-Lot grocery.
