East Cocalico Lions Donate Toll Road Proceeds

On Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, the East Cocalico Lions Club of District 14­D held their annual Toll Road Collection at the square in Reamstown.

Thanks to the generosity of the community, along with a donation from the club, they collected $5,000. The proceeds from this event were divided and was given to the following organizations: Hospice and Community Care, Reamstown Memorial Park Association, PA Breast Cancer Coalition and Ephrata Area Social Services.

At a recent club meeting, after giving a short presentation to the club about their organizations, representatives from each of these organizations were presented a check in the amount of $1,250.

The East Cocalico Lions would like to thank the community for their support in this and all their other projects. Donating to worthy organizations such as these is just one of many ways that the East Cocalico Lions “Strengthen the Pride” as they continue to celebrate more than 75 years of “Lighting the Way” in their community. They continue to make a difference like no other service organization in the world.
