Lions’ Rubber Ducky Fundraiser

Will Finance Leos’ Trip To U.N.

Lion Paul Weber and other club members manned a booth in Cooperstown’s Pioneer Park this morning, lining up sponsors – $20 per duck – for the Rubber Ducky Race coming up Saturday, June 29. The fundraiser will underwrite a trip by the Leo Club, the Lions’ youth arm at CCS, to the United Nations this fall. (Unfamiliar with writing a charter, U.N. organizers drew on the Lions Club’s experience in drafting theirs, Weber said.) On the day of the race, the contesting duck will be placed in the Susquehanna River at Council Rock, and will float into a “V” of buoys. The first 10 winners will receive $50; other gifts from sponsors will also be awarded.  Ducks are also available at Ellsworth & Sill and Mel’s at 22.  Meanwhile, the Bandelions, a combo of Weber and Lions Tom Hohensee and Doug Parry, will perform Friday, June 14, at Mel’s, which will be providing drink specials and other offerings to raise money for the Leo’s trip.
