FAIR PARKING
|
This is one of our big
fundraisers. Every September at the Terryville Lions Country
Fair, we direct all the patrons to their parking spots. This is a
large task and we are helped out greatly by students from Terryville
High School. Donations are made to the treasuries of each group
that provides assistance. So, if you are trying to figure out who
to blame for parking you as far from the entrance as is humanly
possible...That would be us.

EASTER FLOWER SALE
|
Every Easter, we can be found
under our tents on in front of the Lyceum. We sell a wide variety of plants and
flowers - everything from the traditional lillies, to hanging plants,
to cut flowers. Stop in and say hello.
|
LADIES DAY DINNER
|
This coincides with the
installation of every new Grand Knight. A dinner is held honoring
the wives and widows of council members.
|
TOOTSIE ROLL SALES
|
Every fall, Knights all around
the country hand out Tootsie Rolls in exchange for donations.
Funds raised by this activity are used to help intellectually disabled
children locally and throughout the state. Donations in past
years have helped sponsor events in the school's Special Education
program. Our most recent donations have helped to sponsor a program at
the Terryville Library for autistic children.

FREE THROW CHAMPIONSHIP
|
Each year in January, we hold a
contest (free of charge) for boys and girls ages 10 - 14. Winners
from this contest advance to district, regional, and state
competitions. International winners are selected based on the
cumulative scores of the contestants. This year (2006) our council will host
the State Final.
