COMMUNITY fundraisers York Lions enjoyed an evening of floral entertainment to raise money for Breast Cancer.
York Flower arranger Andrew Grizewood, demonstrated the art of arranging to an audience at the Joseph Rowntree Theatre, on May 19, then raffled cuttings from his masterpieces to boost the coffers.
A cheque for £1,000 was later presented to Cancer Research UK.
Lion Peter Jesse said: "It was a tremendous event, everyone had a really good time.
"The fellows really enjoyed themselves, never mind the ladies."
The Lions are holding a concert in aid of York Against Cancer by the York Philharmonic Voice Choir, at St Wilfrid's Garrison Church , Strensall, on Friday, June 27 at 7.30pm.
Tickets are available from Jim Rayne by telephoning 01904 490676.
York Lions meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month at the Novotel hotel, Fishergate, at 8pm.
