Lion Sharon Robert, our YCE coordinator, shown here with our 2018 program participants Nanami (left) and Caleb at their orientation session. Nanami is headed to Greece for three weeks this summer while Caleb is off to Norway for three weeks. Participants are encouraged to use this travel opportunity to represent their home countries and share their own culture while learning about and embracing a new one, forging the way to becoming young ambassadors for peace and international understanding. YCE is composed of various Lions Youth Exchanges and/or Lions Youth Camps arranged by Lions clubs around the world.

On August 21st we lost a wonderful lady and great Lion. RIP Lion Joan

Wood Splitting Work Party

Lions and friends got together to split wood for our Firewood for the Needy program. Logs donated to the Lions had been bucked and stacked and numerous wood splitters were loaned to the club for the task. Many thanks to the friends of the Lions who came out to give us a hand. Here President Betsy and Lion Jon take care of business. (Photos: DB)

The Logs Await

Shown here are some of the logs that have been bucked in preparation for the arrival of the Wood Splitting Lions on Saturday, 21 April, 2018 at Lion Mike's. This is an important work party as it helps season the wood for next winter's "Firewood for Those in Need" project. Thank you Ben, Curtis and Trevor of Gabriola's Island Tree Service for bucking the wood to get it ready for us to split.
