Maree and Grant Johnson accept the first prize in the Stratford Lions Club Christmas stocking raffle from project director Mike Walmsley.
Grant and Maree Johnson will have plenty of extra gifts under the tree this Christmas.
The couple were the winners of the Stratford Lions Club annual Christmas stocking raffle, winning a bookshelf packed with goodies and $1500 worth of vouchers from local businesses.
Grant says they plan to share thegifts with others.
“I’m sure the grandchildren will like the stuffed toy and the bracelet maker.”
“I’ve needed another one for my orchard. There’s so much stuff in here like a nice umbrella and a dessert maker.”
They purchased $20 worth of tickets.
“One of our friends is part of the Stratford Lions Club, so we purchased tickets directly from them. We support this raffle every year and we can’t believe we won.”
Stratford Lions Club president Colleen Moore says the club sold 7500 tickets. The money raised goes directly back into the community through various projects.
She says the club is grateful for the support of local businesses and the club members who sell the tickets.
“None of this would be possible without their support.”
