New member and a big check for St. Vincent de Paul

 

We had a fun meeting today. Welcome to our newest Lion, Lee Metcalf. His father was a Lion. Originally from Oklahoma, Lee came to Seattle in 1981 and moved to Poulsbo in 1994. He's a retired pharmacist. His wife died last year and their daughter lives in Bellingham. Welcome Lee!

Also at today's meeting, Lions Dennis Tesch (left) and Pat Osler presented Mike DeAscentiis of St. Vincent de Paul with a $6,000 check from our Poulsbo Lions Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund.
