Yes, it’s another spring ritual in Uxbridge….it’s time for our annual LIONS VOLUNTARY ROAD TOLL on Friday and Saturday May 27/28/2011..

If you are out and about shopping on this week-end you may see us at the Zehrs Plaza exits with our sandwich boards and buckets asking you to contribute to our Annual Voluntary Road Toll……and that’s exactly what it is, voluntary.

Every year at about this time we take to the streets to ask you to throw some money in the pot so we can continue to help the less fortunate in our community and around the world. Last year we raised $5,300.

Look for the Uxbridge Lions and their buckets on May 27th and 28th ……we want to thank you in advance for your support.

Larry Peet, Christine Tibben and Harold Graves of the Uxbridge Lions Club, wish to invite everyone to their annual Lions Club Pancake Breakfast set for March 26.

The popular fundraiser will be held at the Uxbridge Community Centre from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Fee for adults is $6 and children $4, for a plate of pancakes, sausages and maple syrup.

This was the 3rd annual ‘Fantasy of Lights’ in Elgin Park. The event is usually held during the week before Christmas and is organized by the Optimist Club of Uxbridge with over 20 participants. These include many businesses, churches and service clubs from Uxbridge and the surrounding area. The lighted displays are enjoyed by the residents and visitors to the community either by driving around the park or by enjoying a nice winter stroll.

The Uxbridge Lions Club is pleased to be a part of this event. There is no charge to enjoy the ‘Fantasy of Lights’ but donations are appreciated.

What a great way to spend our annual Lions barbecue & Picnic. A big thank you to this year’s hosts, Lisa & Rigo Borquez. The event took place at the home of Lisa & Rigo. We were joined by Friends of Lions, these are our dear spouses and friends who help out throughout the year at different events and services that we as Lions could not possibly hope to manage without their help. The grounds were the ideal setting for an evening of fellowship and awards.
