The privilege of being a Naches Lion entitles a person to one lunch
and one dinner each month. It also entitles a person to vote at
meetings and it entitles a person to work at community service projects
and fund-raisers.
About the Naches Lion's Club
The Naches Lions Club is a service organization chartered by Lions
Club International with over fifty years of service to the Naches
Valley. The Lions Motto is "We Serve" and we do! Sight
and hearing projects are a major interest of Lions Clubs. We can
tap into Lions Multiple District funding for major sight and hearing
projects. Most sight and hearing projects are paid with funds generated
in the Naches community. Our Club sponsors Sportsman's Days, a community
function that allows other organizations to raise funds.
Activities
Each month brings a different service project, From Christmas
Decorations to Easter Egg Hunts, from collecting funds for the Sight
Foundation (White Cane Days) in May to collecting funds for the
Hearing Foundation (Golden Ears Days) in November. The Club sponsors
and maintains a cabin at Camp
Prime Time, a camp near Clear Lake for families with special
needs children. The planning for Sportsman's Day and running the
event is our major activity. To raise funds for our local projects,
scholarships, eye exams, glasses and hearing aids, we recycle newspaper
from bins at Slims and Suntides. We work at Indian John Hill coffee
stop.
Regular monthly meetings are held:
Second Tuesday Lunch Meeting at the Apple Cart Deli, Downtown Naches
Third Tuesday Board Meetings 6:30 am at Kathy’s Sticky Fingers,
Downtown
Final Thursday 7:00 Dinner Meeting at the Apple Cart Deli
Our Club under the able leadership of Lion Ted Cowan operates a
warehouse of hospital equipment. This equipment is loaned and delivered
to members of the community free of charge. Hospital beds, walkers,
and wheel chairs are some major items loaned.
By sponsoring Sportsmans' Days this allows other nonprofit groups
to earn money. This also provides a great time of community fellowship,
which far exceeds the value of the money brought in during that
weekend.
Our club leadership goes from July 1 to June 30
