One of my favorite things - New members!

New members, new blood! It seems every time we add a new Poulsbo Lion we get new ideas for changing up things, and we LOVE it! Do you want to start out 2026 making a difference in your community? Come to any Thursday noon meeting (technically 12:15-1:15 pm) at Vinland Lutheran Church, 2750 NW Finn Hill Rd., Poulsbo. Or you may choose our Evening Pride Branch Club, which meets downtown at Western Red Brewing at 7 pm the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month (ask for David!).

 

New Lions: Vogel and Neal

Welcome new members Dan Vogel (sponsor Lion Dave Damazo) and Greg Neal (sponsor Andy Hento)!

 

Vogel grew up in California. He retired as an Air Force firefighter after 30 years. He has been married for 40 years and he and his wife have two sons. Most recently, Vogel worked at the shipyard for eight years.

Neal comes to us from Whidbey Island and retired as an engineer in 2016. He has three children. He now welds sculptures.

Poulsbo Lions are excited to have such diverse new members. Welcome!
