RANSOMVILLE — Current and past Lions Club members from across Western New York are invited to participate in Lions Know at the Races at the Ransomville Speedway Aug. 5.

The Barker Lions have reserved three suites for the evening. For $25/person, Lions and their guests will have access to the suites, dinner, drinks and snacks. Reservations are due by June 1.  After
June 1, tickets go up to $30/person.

If the suites are filled, general admission tickets will be available for $18/person; $10 for 12 and under. Again, those prices are good until June 1. To make reservations, call 628-2557. Checks should be made out to the Barker Lions Club. All reservations must be prepaid.

Founded in 1917, Lions Club was designed by Melvin Jones to be a service club. In 1925, Helen Keller asked the group to be her “Knights of the Blind.” Aiding those with sight and hearing challenges became the mission.
