SunBird Lions in Action: Save the Date of April 10
Arlene Block
The SunBird Lions Club will be sponsoring an event on April 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the SunBird Golf Resort patio to help the Chandler community.
Assorted items will be collected, so let’s start your spring cleaning and, at the same time, help those in need. The items that will be collected are as follows:
• Aluminum cans, such as soda pop and beer cans
• Your no-longer-needed eyeglasses, which can also include sunglasses
• Hearing aids, cellphones, and medical equipment, such as wheelchairs, walkers, commodes, and canes that are gently used
• Food items that are in date and unopened, along with paper products and pet foods
If you have large items or a large quantity of items, please call Joan Bruening at 480-636-0370 or Jana Haeffner at 815-761-7243 to arrange for pick-up.
Come enjoy lunch on the patio for a nominal fee. The SunBird Horizon Room will be preparing hot dogs, hamburgers, and beverages for this event.
This event supports International Lions Week.
Lions support hunger, diabetes, vision, and humanitarian work.
There will be a raffle for people who drop off items. You will receive a ticket, which may be the lucky winner. The raffle will be held at the end of the event.
Thank you for supporting the SunBird Lions and those who are less fortunate.
