Sharbot Lake Lions Bottle Drive

Aug 21, 2014

Sharbot Lake and District Lions members Dave and Dawn Hansen along with Lions President Bill Pyle were stationed outside the beer store in Sharbot Lake on August 16 accepting empties for the club's annual bottle drive. Funds raised go towards the Lions' Seniors' Night celebrations, which will take place this October.

Donations will also help support a number of programs that the Lions support in the community including the recent purchase of a brand-new $7,000 auto refractor, an instrument used in the vision and hearing screening program that the Lions carry out every year at Land O' Lakes Public School in Mountain Grove, Clarendon Central in Plevna, and at Granite Ridge Education Centre and St. James Major Catholic School in Sharbot Lake.

The Lions also support the No Child Without program, which provides children with Medic Alert bracelets, as well as the local food bank and the local summer swim program. The Lions also support families in need of emergency relief in the community. Empties can be donated all year long at the Lions bottle shed that has been set up at the Wemp Road Waste Site off of Crow Lake Road.

Upcoming for the Lions is a $7 All You Can Eat breakfast at Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake on Saturday September 27 from 8-11am. The Lions are always looking for new members. For more information call Bill Pyle at 613-539-8190.
