About Chinook Pass Lions Club

We are located along the Chinook Pass Highway and have been an active part of our community since 1977. Past projects have included providing the first police dog for the sheriff’s department, helping to provide a repeater station which provides better communication for our emergency services, and spearheading the creation of the 30 Mile Fire Memorial located at the Naches Ranger Station. Recently we have purchased and constructed a playground and jogging trail at our local park.

Current Activities

We are involved in many projects, some of which occur once a year, while others go on year round. A few examples are: providing supplies for our local food bank, helping to serve meals to senior citizens, supplying food baskets at Thanksgiving and Christmas, providing medical support through equipment and services for people with special needs. Through projects like these we hope to live up to our Lion’s motto “We Serve”.

Care Packages

August 2006 - The Chinook Pass Lions Club is gathering items to be sent to our troops overseas.
We will be collecting these things at the Community Picnic at Jim Sprick Park on August 27th.

Suggested items are beef jerky, nuts, trail mix, chapstick, eye drops, toilet paper, books, magazines, Gatorade powder, and aftershave. These are the most frequently requested items, but use your imagination – anything from playing cards to foot powder, nail clippers to lotions, juice boxes, disposable cameras, and tea bags are just a few more ideas. Think of those things that might make life more comfortable or varied.

Items that may NOT be sent are chocolate (between May & September), alcohol, pork products, or glass containers. Please put scented items or anything liquid in a Ziplock bag – just in case.

Any questions, feel free to call 658-1707 or 658-2011.
