Council approves two community fundraisers: Lions Club mint sale and Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll sale
Summary
The council approved special-event requests for the Richmond Lions Club mint sale on Oct. 4 and the Richmond Knights of Columbus Tootsie Roll sale on Oct. 10–11 (with Oct. 12 as inclement weather date), with liability waivers required.
The Richmond City Council approved two special‑event requests for fall fundraising sales. Council approved a request from the Richmond Lions Club to conduct a mint sale at the County Line Road and St. Clair Highway intersection on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Council removed a requested rain date (Oct. 11) after staff noted that date conflicted with another organization’s sale; the Lions agreed to sign a liability waiver. The council also approved the Richmond Knights of Columbus annual Tootsie Roll sale at Main/Division and County Line Road intersections on Friday, Oct. 10 and Saturday, Oct. 11, with Sunday, Oct. 12 reserved as the inclement‑weather date and a restriction that Knights not occupy the Main/Division intersection on Friday between 11 a.m. and noon. The Knights also agreed to sign a liability waiver. City staff clarified both events will occur on the city side and that organizers must sign liability waivers; council approved both motions by voice vote.
