New 2024 NK Photo Calendar hits the streets

Our newest fundraiser is our 2024 NK Photo Calendar. We're looking for businesses who don't mind have some calendars and a collection jar on their counter. Do you have that? Do you know somebody who might help us sell calendars? We'd appreciate it. Please email poulsbolions@gmail.com. Thanks!

 

673 children screened for vision problems at Kitsap County Fair 2023

 

Thanks to all of the parents and grandparents who allowed us to do vision screening for your kids at the Kitsap Fair and Stampede. We screened 673 this year and hope that those that need help see an improvement in their lives.

Thanks to Miss West Sound Scholarship Program Miss Evergreen, International United Miss, their teens, preteens, parents and of course the Lions Clubs members who made it possible.

We do vision screening to save sight. This young lady is one of the lucky ones that was screened and now has good sight in both eyes.

Picnic offers scholarship, new Leo to Lion and so much more!

More picnic photos: we had the presentation of our last 2022-23 scholarship to Nara Deller, a fun time playing games (with winners Glenn, Tiffany, Audrey and Gil), Leo game managers Quinny and Dagny, Lion Pat cooking up burgers, and District Governor Lisa Ikeda with our newest Lions Emalee Burgh and the official cake. Fun times!

Happy 18th birthday to Emalee Burgh (left) who was inducted as our third Leo to Lion by District Governor Lisa Ikeda.

 

Club picnic a rousing event

 

These are pictures from the Poulsbo Lions annual picnic this past Thursday. The evening included an induction of a Leo-to-Lion Emalee Burgh into the Poulsbo Lions Club, the presentation of our last 2022-23 scholarship to Nara Deller, lots of good food, and a fun time with the chicken corn-hole game.

These pictures include Zone Chair Pat and Sherri Burch (in charge of cooking corn), Lions Dori Swokowski and Pauline Ostheller, VDG2 Bob Johnson and friend, Leo leaders Audrey Crossgrove and Tiffany Le (cornhole champs!).

For Sale: 2 vintage outdoor playground Lions

 FOR SALE: Poulsbo Lions have two vintage outdoor playground spring Lions. Asking price: $350 each. These Lions used to be at Lions Park on 6th Avenue and were replaced in 2000 when the playground area was updated. The Lions' paint was refreshed in 2006 by a local auto body business. They are believed to be from the 1980s. Please leave a message below if you'd like one or both. First come, first served (all proceeds benefit our projects in the North Kitsap community). Local pickup only.
