November is a busy month for our Club.

Thanksgiving and giving. Our club matched the money collected by the Moultonborough staff and administration to provide food gift certificates to families in the area.

We also contributed $500 to Breaking Bread Food Pantry to help buy supplies for over 70 families and two members helped to pack vegetables on November 22.

The Club decided to deliver our Christmas checks to Moultonborough, Tuftonboro, Center Harbor, and Sandwich. Each town decides how best to use the money; however, the majority goes towards the needs and wishes of children. Below is a photo of Co-President Mark Cotrupi handing the check to Brittany Durgen, Moultonborough Public Library Director, for the Santa Fund. The checks to the two towns totaled $2,500,

One of the service platforms of Lions Clubs throughout the world is pediatric cancer. Several weeks ago, Pete and Judy Strople delivered $500 worth of toys (listed on the CHaD Amazon Wish List) to Molly’s House at Dartmouth hospital.

Our raffle sales in front of Heath’s from July through October are over and many Club members (and our District President and Secretary/Treasurer) got together on a Saturday to stuff 1,1000 envelopes with raffle tickets and a letter explaining the many services the Moultonborough Lions Club provides. We have already received many return envelopes with raffle tickets and checks enclosed. Thanks so much to all who responded. Your last chance to buy a raffle to win $5,000 will be at the Christmas Fair at MCS on December 7.
