Lion Steve will take Maria to her eye appointment in San Francisco on Wednesday. Lion Al said we have been supporting Maria with the Lions Eye clinic for about eleven years.
Lion Joan said that the Boy Scout we are supporting has made a prototype for the lid covering to be used on the lower garden beds. Lion Joan also said that if we have extra plant seedlings that members of the club who would like some for their garden might be available, otherwise we would donate them to another 501c3 Valley Verda.
