Glenwood Lions Club had another successful annual fall fundraiser to support their many local, regional and International Lions Club’s projects.  

At the Club’s November 12th monthly meeting at Captain’s Bar and Grill, they conducted the cash Raffle ticket drawings using a Random Number Generator to select the winners. 184 Tickets were purchased from community individuals. The Lucky winners were $400 Jim Morrissy, $200  Katie Nichtern, $100 Dewey Essig, $50 Gift Card to Captains:  Dan Swartz, Sharon Hormann, Dan Fremling, Jennie Sorenson, Flint Daugherty, John Blair, Karen Thompson, Kirk Stensrud, Joe Hiedelberger, and  Jerry Hollermann.

Club members sincerely share a hardy THANK You to all those purchasing tickets to support our projects.  Funds are shared with several local projects such as MAHS annual senior scholarships;  partnership with the City of Glenwood to replace windows on the Barsness Park Lions Chalet building (built 1954); Girl and Boy Scouts; Starbuck Heritage and Fire Department; and several regional  Research Projects  for Children Cancer, Diabetes, Hearing, Vison; and the Lions Club International Foundation.  Last fiscal year we donated $8,050 to 36 organizations (19 local).

If interested in joining our Club, we meet every 2nd Tuesday at 5:30 pm at Captains Bar and Grill.  Glenwood Lions Club was established in November 1940 and is looking forward to another new decade of service to our community.
