Lions collect donations for food bank at orchestra performances

 Poulsbo Lions will be collecting cash, nonperishable foods and bags at each of the two performances Saturday, Dec. 6. The club has sponsored the Poulsbo Community Orchestra since its inception.

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.

 

Lions actively helping community during coronavirus

Even though we haven't been able to meet, Poulsbo Lions have been setting up flags (Memorial Day, Flag Day and the 3rd of July), collecting and processing more than 1,000 pairs of eyeglasses for LERC, and collecting food from local grocery stores and delivering it to Fishline. #poulsbolions #weserve #Covidcan'tkeepusdown

 

 

Christmas party fun and service

Scenes from our annual Christmas party. This year it was held at the Clearwater Casino Resort.

 

The Clearwater Resort provided the decorated Christmas tree while Lions and their guests brought useful things like new socks, mittens/gloves and scarves for Fishline Food Bank.

The gift exchange is always fun. Here, District Governor Pat Burch shows off the magical Santa he opened.
