Members of the Poulsbo Noon Lions Club will take to North Kitsap streets on Friday and Saturday, May 1-2, to raise funds as part of the annual White Cane Days.All donations from the community will go to the Northwest Lions Foundation for Sight and Hearing in Seattle, where 2,500 corneas were transplanted last year. In addition, the Foundation helps low-income families pay for sight-related surgeries and equipment.
According to Linda and Dottie, project co-chairs, “We raised around $5,000 last year and hope to meet or exceed that goal. Regionally, 95 percent of the Lions clubs in the states of Washington and northern Idaho will be out in force on May 1-2. With so many good causes needing help in North Kitsap, any donation, no matter how large or small, is greatly appreciated. You are truly helping Lions make a difference in our community.”
