Halloween is coming! With everyone concerned about the threat of EEE and our ongoing concerns about COVID19, the Holliston Lions & Community Farm have opted to not proceed with our Haunted Hay Walk. However, we want to offer a safe and fun alternative for Halloween for Holliston residents.

The Holliston Lions Club would like to extend their appreciation to everyone who purchased a ticket for our Big Raffle. We’d also like to thank HCAT for the assistance they provided in helping us eliminate all but our last 10 finalists!
The Lions Club motto is “We Serve”. For more than 100 years, this has been the motto of the Association. This year, we faced unprecedented challenges in Holliston, first with the threat of EEE in the fall and ending the year with COVID-19.
The Holliston Lions Club would like to express our appreciation to those who already purchased tickets for the 2020 $10,000 Big Raffle. For the past 13 years, the Holliston Lions held the $10,000 Big Raffle and each year someone wins the $10,000 grand prize! Only 300 tickets are sold (there are still a few tickets available for purchase).
The Holliston Lions Club is encouraging students who are interested to participate in the 2020 – 2021 Lions Youth Speech Contest. This years’ topic for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will be “Is winning everything?”
The Holliston Lions Club sent information to the community about a month ago regarding the Youth Peace Poster Contest. Here is an update / reminder.
During this period of uncertainty, Lions Clubs across Massachusetts are struggling to find ways to continue to serve those who need help. In addition to the social distancing requirements, many of our Clubs, or individual Lions members are only too familiar with the devastation COVID-19 has wreaked on individual families and friends.

When the Holliston Lions asked folks to consider cleaning out their attics and closets and donating clothing, linen, eyeglasses, yarn and hearing aids, we figured we would get some takers. What followed was amazing and we want to thank everyone who participated!
Despite the challenges these unprecedented times have presented us with, the Holliston Lions Club has continued to conduct business. While we’re not conducting “business as usual”, we are moving forward.

While your family is remaining at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is getting warmer than ever outside. For those of you who are not currently working, this is the ideal time to work on spring cleaning!
