Grants Are Being Offered To Bethel Businesses By The Bethel Lions

Through the Bethel Lions Club in partnership with The Bethel Business Network, several Bethel businesses will be given grants of $250 to help offset costs or losses due to the Covid crisis. The funds were raised by the Bethel Lions Club through donations received during the Bethel Virtual Concert earlier this year, a generous contribution from the Bethel Lions Club and a generous sponsorship by the Bethel Police Benevolent Association.

If you know of a business adversely impacted by the Covid crisis, please let them know to apply by November 24th at www.bethelconcert.com/grants

There is no fee of any kind to apply, and the application takes just a few moments to fill out.

And if you or someone you know would like to donate to increase the number of grants being offered, please contact Kris Peterson, President of the Bethel Lions Club.

The Bethel Lions Club is a chapter of Lions Club International, a community service organization perhaps best known for it's work supporting vision care. You may have seen their yellow eye glass collection boxes by Caraluzzi's, People's Bank and Varano Bakery.

The Bethel Business Network is a free business networking and referral service provided by The Bethel Community Gazette with over 160 local business professionals as members. The group meets weekly, currently online, to network, provide referrals and support. Their next promotion, Holidays In Bethel, begins on November 15th and is open to any Bethel business to participate. You can learn more about the Bethel Business Network at www.thebethelbusinessnetwork.c... and about the Holidays In Bethel program at www.holidaysinbethel.com/biz/.

We'd also like to thank Billy Michael, Cynthia McCorkindale, Damon Wade, Ray Flanigan and all of the local performers who donated their time and talent to organize and perform for this fundraiser.
