It takes all hands on deck for the Thorndale Lions Club’s largest annual event, the Social Gaming Night and Elimination Draw, which was held last Saturday evening, March 28, at the Thorndale Lions Community Centre.

With all tickets sold, the evening was busy with attendees enjoying the video music, trying their luck at the different gaming stations, including wheels of chance, blackjack’ tables, a darts game and the ever-popular horse race, which brought out the most cheers from the crowd. There was also a penny raffle and a silent auction.

The elimination draw took place throughout the evening with the last ticket drawn for $2,000 to the lucky winner.

“We are grateful our community comes out to support us, and we greatly appreciate the extra help from our wives and partners for tonight’s busy event,” Thorndale Lions president Tony Sireon said.

Proceeds from the Lion’s Social Gaming Night will go to the community projects the Thorndale Lions support. The club’s next community event is their breakfast on Sunday, April 26.
