Strides for Diabetes Awareness Fun Walk

Saturday, April 12th, we held our first ever Strides for Diabetes Awareness fun walk. Thank you to all the volunteers, sponsors, and supporters who made today’s Strides for Diabetes event a success. We’ll do it again next year.

A Snapshot of History

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

Our Queen of Hearts raffle pot has crossed $30,000, which kicks us up into the Stage 2 prize level. General ticket winners get $100. Aces get $250. Jokers get $1,500 (and we start a new board). And the Queen of Hearts wins half the pot. Our weekly drawing is held at 7:30p every Tuesday, at Lynn Catherine’s located at 6525 W. Pershing Rd., Stickney, IL. For detailed rules click here. You can purchase tickets at Lynn Catherine's, at one of these other locations, or at our online store.

At our April 15th drawing the winning ticket belonged to BBH Corp. who selected card #2 on the board, which was revealed to be the Queen of Clubs.
The pot rolls over and will start at $118,400.
