Steve's sale brings in $650 for Loads of Change service project

 

Remember Lion Steve's moving sale? Well, he contributed $650 to our Loads of Change program, which helps the unhoused and low-income with their laundry every month! Thanks Steve!!!

 

If you'd like to make a donation, we accept PayPal (poulsbolions@gmail.com), checks (PO Box 1244, Poulsbo WA 98370 and items like big trash bags, vinegar and fabric softener dropped off Attn: Dennis Deitch, John L. Scott Real Estate, 10th Ave., Poulsbo).

 

Add radishes to the list of veggies we pick

 

Another 35 lbs of veggies have been delivered to ShareNet, just in time judging by the long line of cars with clients waiting.

We harvested radishes, broccoli, cucumbers, celery, kale, red lettuce and even picked a pint of blackberries!

Our garden is really growing! Check out Rob by the beans. And the gorgeous sunflower!

 

Hot weather for Loads of Change this week

It's gonna be toasty tomorrow during our monthly clean laundry day! So bring a beverage and a good attitude because the laundromat is NOT air conditioned! As usual, several Poulsbo Lions will be on hand to put in quarters. Just make sure your last load of wash has been started by 5:30 if you want us to cover the dryer cost.

 

Ostheller and Reitan receive special certificate for service

District service chair Pat Burch gave a certificate to Karl Ostheller at our last meeting for 100% projects for Multiple District 19 for inputting our service hours. Karen Reitan collected the hours and also received a certificate.

Silver City Restaurant helps kids with Type 1 diabetes

 

Silver City Restaurant office manager Robbi Perez gave a check for $2,449 to Joyce Walters, executive director of Type 1 United for Camp Leo at our meeting Thursday.

 

Camp Leo is the only overnight camp for kids aged 7-17 with Type 1 diabetes. They learn how to manage their disease, as well as meet other kids who have it.

 

In June, Silver City asked patrons to round up their checks, with the change benefitting Camp Leo. The restaurant also contributed $1,000.

 

Lions clubs in Western Washington have been long-time supporters Camp Leo.

Even dogs like our veggies

 

We took in 23 lbs of broccoli, red lettuce, 2 cucumbers, chard and lots of celery to ShareNet this morning.

Lydia fluffed the veggies while her dog grabbed a piece of chard to snack on.
