ICYMI-----IT'S CROTON LIONS RAFFLE TIME!

A LETTER FROM BOB ANDERSON, PRESIDENT, CROTON LIONS CLUB

Why not take a chance? It’s a chance for you to help your community. The funds collected might help a fire victim get back on their feet; it may fix a hole in someone's roof, or it may help a deserving student through a scholarship.

The Croton Lions will be selling 50/50 raffle tickets this weekend at CVS, Saturday the 16th from 9-3pm and Sunday at Bagels on Hudson the 17th from 9-3pm. Tickets are also available at the Croton Diner at any time.

The drawing will be held at Summerfest on June 7th.

The generosity of the Croton community allowed the Lions to increase the scholarships this year from $3,000 to $5,000, donate to the Croton Seniors Club, BluePath service dogs, Harry Chapin Run for Hunger and almost 30 other organizations in need.

The Lions motto is “We Serve” and a small donation on your part helps you to help us serve our community.

Take a chance, you could be a winner in more ways than you think!

More information about membership, donations and services can be found at our website, crotonlions.org.

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” W. Churchill

President, Croton Lions Club

IN THE NEWS---PAXTON SCORES A $10 MILLION VICTORY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST THE "TRANS KIDS" INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX




Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Friday a significant settlement with Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston over that hospital’s long practice of harming minors with cross-sex hormones and transgender surgeries. The settlement focuses on billing fraud, a much-discussed aspect of transgender medical programs in which providers bill insurance for falsely described procedures that appear to represent real treatment for sick children.
