Loads of Change serves 54 needy individuals

Poulsbo Lions spent $521 ($73 of that was individual Lions' donation) on this month's Loads of Change.

We helped 54 unhoused/low income people wash 92 loads and dry 97 loads.

 

Thanks to Michael from Georgia for buying 10 pizzas for everyone!And special thanks to Ray and Ria McMahon for volunteering every month. Also helping was Terry Blais, Dennis Deitch and Lee Metcalf.

 

 

Two more sleeps till laundry day

Laundry day is coming up Wednesday, Sept. 20! This is for North Kitsap residents only - unhoused and low-income please. Last load of wash goes in at 5:30 pm if you want to get it dried.

 

Dunmire a welcome addition to our club

We're happy to announce new Poulsbo Lion Gretchen Dunmire. Gretchen was inducted at today's meeting. She was born and raised in Poulsbo, graduating from North Kitsap High School in 1986. She is sponsored by her mom, Lion Beth Olsen (her late Uncle Doug Mong was a long-time Poulsbo Lion, as well).

Gretchen has two daughters. She worked for 35 years as an executive assistant, but turned to contract work 2 years ago.

Welcome to the club!!! #newmember #poulsbolion #weserve #3rdLionsamefamily

Lion Karen Reitan has a variety of mums for you to buy for $10 each. Thanks to Valley Nursery for helping us offer you this great deal. I saw mums at a local grocery store for double the price. Buy from Lions because the money goes to our Loads of Change service project which provides free laundromat services for the unhoused and low income in the North Kitsap community.
