Village of Forest View Donation
At our October board meeting, the Village of Forest View presented our Club with a $375 donation check that they raised by raffling off the old street signs recently replaced by Forest View Public Works. Thank you, President David Liska and the Village of Forest View, for your support and generosity. And thank you, also, for hosting our monthly board meetings in your Village Hall.

Stickney-Forest View Lions Food Pantry

If anyone has been looking for our Stickney-Forest View Lions Club Food Pantry, it is still located at the Forest View Village Hall. It has just been moved to the north end of the second floor. We invite the community to help keep this much needed resource stocked with non-perishable food items and hygiene products. If you should notice the pantry needs restocking, please email us at sfvlions@gmail.com. Thank you again to the Village of Forest View for hosting our pantry.

Queen of Hearts Raffle

We are ready to announce that our Queen of Hearts Raffle is coming back, with some minor changes. We are changing the ticket price to $5 per ticket. But we are also change the prize payouts. Our initial pot will start at $15,000 and the payouts will be $250 for a basic winner, $300 for a Queen other than the Queen of Hearts, and $500 for a Joker. Aces are no longer special prizes and the Queen of Hearts is still half of the pot. These prize amounts will also increase more frequently over ten stages as the pot grows. See the updated game rules for details. Our weekly drawing is held at 7:30p every Tuesday, at Lynn Catherine’s located at 6525 W. Pershing Rd., Stickney, IL. You can purchase tickets at Lynn Catherine's or at our online store. Our first drawing of the new game will be Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025.

If you don't have Facebook you can watch the Tuesday night live stream
recording here, as well.
