The Windham Lions Club is raising money
to help with their programs which include purchasing glasses and hearing aids
for kids, eye screenings for all incoming kindergarteners and participating in
the “Speak-Out” student presentations. For the fourth year they will hold a
craft/vendor fair at the North Windham Union Church, 723 Roosevelt Trail. There
will be crocheted items, repurposed kitchen items, bird houses, tote bags, dog
treats, Avon, Halloween treats, jewelry, Scentsy, quilts, handmade cards and more,
a total of 14 vendors.
“We
do eye screenings for incoming kindergarten students, close to 250 of them. We
take pictures of their eyes and a doctor looks at it,” said Eileen Frost, the
coordinator of the craft fair.
There will also be a raffle for many
items and gift certificates from the community and the winners don’t have to be
present to win. There will also be a 50/50 raffle for that day.
Admission is free, but donations of
non-perishable food items are appreciated.
The event will take place Saturday,
October 22nd from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will also be a hamburger and hot dog
luncheon from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Lions Club has 22 members and is
always willing to accept new members. Their future fundraisers and community
events are the breakfast with Santa at the Windham Veterans Center and Stuff
the Bus.
