An open letter from the President
The New York State and Bermuda Lions Foundation, Inc is a state endorsed project of the Lions of MD-20.
//
Membership is made up of three (3) trustees' from each of the twelve (12) districts making up MD-20. Meeting 4 times a year, the average attendance is 30 trustees per meeting. I'm always impressed by the dedication of these lions to working together. Our new trustees have brought new energy levels to our committees and meetings.

Our major fundraiser has been the annual Car Raffle and in the past 16 years no one has ever asked about taking the Car. With that in mind, we have renamed the Car Raffle to the $20,000 Cash Raffle. No other changes have been made to the existing raffle. Tickets will be out early January. We need the support of all the clubs in MD-20 to continue to provide grants to help Lions clubs do projects greater than a club or district can normally handle.

With the deceasing number of lion members and the present economy our ticket sales has been reduced so a second raffle, with jewelry created by a former trustee, has been created. Several years ago we did a Quilt Raffle with good results. This raffle is in addition to the 20K Cash Raffle and not meant to affect that program.
