Their project helps to serve at risk foster and homeless youth and fulfills the Lions motto:  “We Serve.”

According to Anne Smarsh, newly installed Lions club president, items recently donated by club members and their friends will allow the Lions to meet the pressing needs of at-risk youth in the Snoqualmie Valley community and beyond. Mount Si Lions and Leo members thank everyone who  contributed to this cause.

The Mount Si Lions Club has 14 members and meets on the second and fourth  Tuesday of the month at Boxley’s in North Bend.
