Stoughton Lions Club draws winner for first 50/50 draw

The draw for the 50/50 was held at the Welcome to Winter, Miracle on Main Street on Dec. 5. The club was pleased with the sales.

STOUGHTON - In October, the Stoughton Lions Club decided on something different: to try their hand at a 50/50 draw.

The club has been around for many years and at present has 12 active members with Ed Young the president. Meetings are held at the Stoughton Drop-In Centre on the second Wednesday of each month.

Although the club is small, and would love to see more people join, they do great things for the small community. They donated $2,000 to first responders, and gave ID kits to the Stoughton Playschool, the Stoughton Early Learning Facility and the Stoughton Central School.

During Stoughton Daze weekend, they look after the parade, provide the plaques and rosettes to the winners and sponsor a free swim day at the pool.

They take care of the barbecue during the Canada Day Celebration held at Taylor Park and supplied the candy for the kids at the Welcome to Winter event. Spa ticket sales and a reverse draw are always successful for the club.

This past summer a young man was badly burnt, and they donated money to the family to help in his journey to recovery.

The draw for the 50/50 was held at the Welcome to Winter, Miracle on Main Street on Dec. 5. The club was pleased with the sales.

With the Lions at Vivid Ink, Crystal Begin from the store drew the lucky winner.

Kirscen Rulloda from Stoughton received $1,410 from the 50/50, while Madeline La Rose won the giant tiger donated by Dorothy Knoch.

The other half of the revenues from ticket sales will be used within the community when it is needed.

The Lions thank everyone for their support through this fundraiser and the others that they have had in the past.
