"Thank you once again for the wonderful support the people of Narromine have given our club in 2019," the club said.
"Our Christmas raffle was a huge success and we congratulate our winners."
First prize was a baby webber barbecue won by Bob Laukka, second was a Christmas hamper won by Leonie McDonald. Third prize was a $100 fuel Voucher won by Judy Wheeler.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank Duff Butchery for their donation of the ham towards our hamper and Mark Bourchier for donating the fuel voucher," the club said.
The Mother's Day raffle will begin in April, and this year the Lions branch are considering a Father's Day raffle in August.
Lions also had a successful Trivia Night at the Bowling Club last November, and the club would like to thank the Bowling Club manager and staff for organising this event for the charities of Narromine.
A wonderful initiative and already has raised thousands of dollars for various charities.
