Lions Club Thanks Locals for $2M in Support

Dear Editor:

The Saddle River Valley Lions Club thanks all those in the communities we serve for supporting the 2013 Lions Carnival & Car Raffle in Upper Saddle River during Memorial Day week. It is only with the generous annual support of the local communities that we are able to provide a significant amount of help to many local charities and volunteer organizations.

We thank those who attended the Carnival; our sponsors whose generous contributions helped us pay our expenses; and the Borough of Upper Saddle River for the use of Lions Memorial Park. We are especially grateful to the many residents who volunteered to help; and to the Upper Saddle River Police; USR Department of Public Works; USR Volunteer Ambulance Corps; USR Volunteer Fire Department; and the USR Code Enforcement Office for ensuring that we once again had a clean, safe Carnival.

We congratulate this year’s Car Raffle winner, Dominic Morelli of Yonkers, NY, and thank all those who bought raffle tickets.

It is only through the generous support of local residents that we can be successful in our efforts to serve the community. Over the past 55 years, this continued support of our fundraising projects has made it possible for us to reach the significant milestone of having raised over $2,000,000 to benefit sight- and other health-related charities and local volunteer organizations.

We look forward to your continued support of our charitable fund-raising efforts and hope to see you at the Lions Carnival next year! Should you, or someone you know, be interested in information about Lions Club membership, please visit www.srvlions.org or contact the Saddle River Valley Lions Club at P.O. Box 333, Saddle River, NJ 07458.

Sincerely,

Lion Dennis Schubert

Carnival & Car Raffle Chairperson
