It was the 2nd annual “Rock n the Island dance” held on St. Joseph’s Island hosted by the Lions. This event helps to raise money to support local area community services. Money was raised through ticket sales, prize draws, bar sales and sponsorship. The support from the Island community is outstanding, with over 60 local businesses sponsoring or donating gifts and prizes. Tickets to the event were sold out in one day!
The St. Joseph Island Lions raised $18,570.60 with each of the beneficiaries receiving $3714.12. The proceeds of the event went to support Richards Landing Children’s Library, Hilton Union Library and Richards Landing Public Library, St. Joseph Island Museum and the Jocelyn House of History Museum.
What an amazing group of Lions to raise this much money in only their 2nd year for the event. As per the Lions “The hard work of our volunteers and the generosity of our community makes this all possible!” Here’s to next year and another successful event.
