Fayetteville Lions Club Fundraising Projects
Most of the outstanding Service Projects conducted
by the Fayetteville Lions require funds. The club tries its best to conduct
fundraisers where the public can donate to our very good works, but at the same
time get something of value in return. 100% of the money earned through Lion
fundraising projects is spent for our service projects. Our administrative
expenses are funded entirely from Lions member dues, fees and fines.
 Apple Day Sales & Roadblock. Each year in the month of November,
the club sells apples, by the case, half case or dozen, to local businesses and
organizations.

The sale period is culminated with a "Roadblock" collection at high traffic
intersections throughout Fayetteville on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Passing motorist are provided a shiny red apple in exchange for the donation of
their choice.
 Football and Basketball Tournament Concessions & Gate. The
annual Football Jamboree in August and Basketball Tournament later each Fall are
both conducted primarily as a service to the local 7th - 9th grade schools.
But the Lions also use the opportunity to collect some monies for our service
project funds. This includes profits over costs for the concession
stand at both events, and also profit above operating expenses from entrance gate fees at the basketball tournament. (For the
Football Jamboree, all gate receipts in excess of our costs to conduct the
Jamboree, are returned to the participating schools.)

charge for participants and coaches):

Mop, Broom & Light Bulb Sales. The Lions have traditionally sold
mops, brooms and light bulbs door-to-door in the Spring and Fall. Due to
the changing times, we find this less effective, so we now sell these items at
various forums and locations throughout the year. We will make public
announcements of these sales.
We maintain a stock of mops, brooms and lightbulbs year round to be able to respond to community members. We would
be happy to sell these to any business or individual at any time. Just
contact Don Woodruff, (931) 433-3703 or Marshall Arney, (931) 438-2742, our
MB&LB Committee Co-Chairs, or any Lion Club Member. Finally, we also
maintain a small supply of mops and brooms at two businesses on the Fayetteville
Square:
- Carter's Drug Store, 106 S. Elk Ave. (East Side of
Square)
- Magnolia Mall Antiques, 121 S. Main Ave (West Side
of Square)
By the way, when you buy our products you are making a double contribution to
the Lions mission. Our high quality products are manufactured in facilities that
employ mentally and physically challenged adults. The mops and brooms come from
the Cornelia Broom Co. in North
Georgia.
