A Fishline volunteer noticed rain water coming into the building on Thanksgiving, while she and others were serving a community meal. So volunteers recently mobilized to clean out the gutters and clear out wandering blackberry vines on the roof of the building. Poulsbo Lions took on improving the drainage around the base of the building, constructing a large drain in back to catch the constant hillside run-off. This photo was taken February 9.

Lions Dick Prine, Jim Stark, Dennis Peters, Tom Settle, Charlie Weaver, Kent Lord,
Matt Alvarado and Jake Prine put in 40 hours total on the job, working in cold, muddy conditions to save the building. A safe walkway was also installed on the left side of the 3rd Street building.
