Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 82nd annual Carmel Lions Club Fry became a drive-thru event Aug. 14 for lunch and dinner at the club’s building parking lot, 141 E. Main St. The event raised nearly $18,000 through meal and sandwich sales and raffle tickets. Proceeds benefit local projects such as third-grade media grants, the leader dog program, food pantry support, a diabetes youth camp and the Lions Cancer Fund. “Eighty-two years in a row, COVID is not winning,” said John Rodgers, raffle ticket director.
