Coupons for Education
Our Lions Club has been clipping and collecting coupons for education for many years and Thank You for contributing, many dollars have been collected by clipping that coupon with a value of 10 cents. (it all adds up). Back in 1998 the campaign was launch by General Mills to help support education since then millions of dollars have gone to schools though out the country for purchasing computers, library books, fund field trips or what ever may be needed in their schools. A school could earn $80,000 per year just from clipping coupons from products such as Cheerios, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Ziplock, Scott and the list goes on. For more info. Contact Lion Ellie 508-875-4513.
We wish you all a HAPPY SUMMER, stay safe, wear your mask, safe distance and wash your hands. Interested in becoming a Greater Ashland Lion contact Lion Ellie 508-875-4513.
