Lions Club Grocery Dash

The Hopkinton Lions Club is proud to announce an event called ‘The Grocery Dash’. The event will be held at Colella’s Super Market on June 13 at 10 a.m. A lottery drawing will be held on June 8, 2012 and two winners will be chosen by Ms. Dale Danahy of Colella’s Market. The cost of tickets will be fifteen ($15.00 ) dollars and allows each winner ---- four (4 ) minutes to choose items from each and every aisle throughout the store. Grocery carts will be supplied at each end of every aisle as all items MUST be within a cart to be counted. There are some exclusions and they are as follows: lottery tickets, gift cards, alcoholic drinks and all smoking items and the winner will be restricted to three (3 ) meat items either fresh or frozen. Note: a sample dash undertaken recently generated a total of fifteen hundred and six ($1506.00 ) dollars worth of items in the allotted four minutes. The winners will be notified after the drawing and must be at least eighteen (18 ) years of age or they may choose a proxy  who also must be at least 18 years of age.

The Hopkinton High School Leo’s Club, sponsored by the Hopkinton Lions, will be assisting in the ticket sales on week-ends, beginning in mid-April, at Colella’s entries. The local Leo’s Club is one of only a few in the area and presently has well over one hundred active teen members. Each member of this group of young people works throughout the Town in many  endeavors to satisfy the requirement of donating their time in charitable events at least once a month. Please take advantage of this terrific ‘Dash’ event to fill your cupboards and freezer  and to help the Lions Club continue their local efforts to help those in financial need.
