Golf Ball Drop

The Golf Ball Drop fundraiser to support  Ashland Lions and Ashland Firefighters was held on Saturday, October 17th at 3pm. The golf balls were dropped from AFD truck Tower-1. This fundraiser was a huge success, and thanks to all who participated. Profits will be shared between Ashland Firefighters and Ashland Lions, and Ashland Lions proceeds will go to Lions Eye Research and to support our community. Congrats to the winners, Susan Manna of Framingham, and Lt. Anthony Duca of Ashland.

Christmas trees are coming!

It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only a month away. But do you know what opens right after Thanksgiving? The Lions Christmas Tree lot! While the Lions have had to cancel every other fundraiser this year, we will still be bringing Christmas spirit and raising money for our community. We will be following all health and cleaning guidelines for COVID to ensure the safety of our volunteers and customers. Please consider buying your fresh Christmas tree from the Ashland Lions this year and donate to a great cause. Remember, Lions give back 100% of fundraising to eye research and the local community. Hope to see you soon!

Coats for Kids

Lions Club District 33K clubs are partnering with Anton’s Cleaners again this year for their annual Coats for Kids drive! Please search your closets for unused and ask your friends and neighbors to do the same. The weather is getting colder and this is a good opportunity to help those in need. The coats can be for children or adults and must in good condition- that means gently worn, no rips, tears, broken zippers or permanent stains. Coats may be dropped off at any Anton’s Cleaners or at Cleaner’s Choice, 193  Main St. Ashland, MA. 

We are happy to announce that 34 coats were collected on Saturday, October 17th, by Lions at the Ashland Fire Station on Cedar St. as part of the Fire Department’s open house.  A collection box for coats will remain at the fire station for the community to drop of coats at other times.
