A long-standing tradition in Apalachin has been the Apalachin Lions Christmas Program. This year 44 families were provided with toys, certificates for food and gift certificates for children 15 and under.
Although this program is spearheaded by the Lions, it is a total effort by many people and organizations in Apalachin, Campville East to the Broome County line and Little Meadows, Pa. All the food and toys come from community efforts and the Lions club furnishes approximately $4,300 in gift certificates.
The Apalachin Lions wishes to thank the following for donations or assistance with this effort: the Apalachin Pharmacy, Apalachin Elementary School, Apalachin Library, Girl Scout Troop 40514, the United Methodist Women of Apalachin United Methodist Church, Frontier Telephone Co., O-A Family Reading Partnership, St. Margaret Mary’s Church, Target, Tioga Hills Elementary School, Sweeney’s Market, the Tioga County Marine Corps League, and White Tails Bar and Grill in Little Meadows.
In addition to the named donors, many contributions of food gift cards or assistance were received from throughout the area.
