It is my honor to serve as your 24-25 Lions President. I have been a member for 10 years and 9 of those I have served on the board.   My goals for the club this year are to have a membership drive, to develop a media team to promote our club within the community, and to work closer with other Lions clubs in the area. The fun side of this office will be our social committee to promote lots of fun and friendships. I was born here and am one of 8 kids. All 8 of us went to WHS! I have 1 daughter ,4 grandchildren I great grandson. I was a floral manager for Safeway, owned Melanies Courtyard Cafe for 13 years, I serve on the board for the Wenatchee Senior Center and their fund-raising committee. I volunteer at TTC for ticket scanning for events, as you can see the busier I am the happier I am. I invite anyone reading this to come join us or contact me so I can share what we do and answer any question. For me volunteering fills a hole in my heart.
