Annual Lions Club Grapefruit Sale

The Greenwich Lions Club is holding its annual Grapefruit Sale to raise money to support local projects and assist individuals with low vision.

Please support our efforts by purchasing a case of delicious Texas Ruby Red grapefruit on Saturday, Nov. 10 through Monday Nov. 12, 2012.

Members of the club will be selling cases in central Cos Cob, east of the Cos Cob firehouse, opposite the Mill Pond shoppping center and across the grass from the library, starting at 10 am.

The price per 20-pound box will be $18.

The Greenwich Lions work in a variety of ways to improve community life for youth, seniors and particularly the visually and hearing impaired through the Lions Low Vision Center and Connecticut Lions Eye research Foundation. Over the past 50 years, financial support from the Greenwich Lions Foundation has resulted in one of the largest large-print libraries in the state at Greenwich Library.

The Lions also support research work in the areas of juvenile diabetes and macular degeneration and the Town of Greenwich Social Services Department’s “Camperships.”
