The Club begins Raven Pub Nights, with meat and cash draws in 2002. Funds raised are initially
used for Christmas Hampers, which are delivered to deserving families in our local area. The
Raven project proves very successful, and considerable amounts are raised and donated to the
Harvest Project and to the Lions Foundation of Canada to train a Seeing Eye dog. This is a
continuing, successful project.
