Aruba Lions Club ready to raffle their next house!
Just recently the board and members of Aruba Lions Club together with the Monte Verde Residence company, which manages the houses in their complex, for the celebration of the traditional Aruban custom....the "Spantenbier" (reaching the highest point in the construction which is celebrated with lots of free beer for everyone). This is a house that Aruba Lions Club has purchased to be raffled as of the 2nd of
November. This will be the 56th house that this service club is raffling as one of their fund raising projects. This is the second time that they have chosen a Monte Verde home situated in Sero Biento. The house is built after the Flower Model of Jasmin, and is 101m2, with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths installed by Banjolux. It has an Italian style modern kitchen completely installed by Berloni, and a Washroom.
The windows are made of double glass, and the roof is covered with roof panels. The house is built on a 400m2 lot and has a value of more or less 242.000 Florins. This is a very modern and ideal home for any family. The raffle will be held in November, but the raffle tickets are already on the market for sale. Apparently, there is a greater demand for this raffle this year than in previous years, which means that tick-
ets may sell out really early. Each ticket costs only Afls.25 and gives each holder of a ticket the opportunity to win a brand new house, and at the same time the purchaser of a ticket is contributing to helping Aruba Lions Club with their community projects for the needy. Lions Club International represents more than 1.4 million members worldwide with 46 million clubs in 205 countries or geographic areas. Annually the organization invests millions of dollars into charity initiatives around the world. Aruba Lions Club will be
celebrating 65 years of existence on September 29th. The local club has 63 members (almost one member per year of existence) and resorts, administratively, under district E1. This E1 district covers the regional area of Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao and Venzuelan states like Falcon, Zulia, Trujillio, Merida, Tachira and the Apure state. Every year the club generates a very large undisclosed sum of money from their different fund raising activities, which they, reportedly invest back into the community through a long list of organizations and instances in need of help.
