Some time just before Christmas, you'll find Lion members and volunteers huddling around outside in the cold winter weather, trying to keep warm.  It doesn't matter if the temps are in the low teens and the Taku Winds are blowing sideways, this annual fundraiser always brings a smile to the participants.  With the cooperation of Coastal Helicopters who donate their time, copters, and fuel, we take passengers on a helicopter ride over the Mendenhall Valley to view Christmas lights.  Buy your tickets here. They average about 300 passengers a year, during a four-hour period.  The proceeds from this event are shared with Coastal Helicopters whose chosen charity is the Children's Tumor Foundation and our share of the proceeds goes into other sight projects. For more information on exact date and time, contact the club at [email protected].  They typically start the rides around 4:00/4:30 but this night's event is always contingent upon Juneau weather.  You can find us at the Juneau Airport, near the small plane counters downstairs.
