Roar! You won’t believe all the Fort Bragg/Mendocino Lions Club does when you come to the Chamber mixer tonight at 5.
There will be some breaking news, brews, toys and prizes tonight at a Mendocino Coast Chamber of Commerce mixer tonight at Fort Bragg Lions Hall on Redwood Street.
The event will feature an announcement by the Mendocino Coast Clinics Executive Director, Lucresha Renteria . Chamber member Schnaubelt Brewing will demonstrate its new canned drinks and tell about many delights it sells in Noyo Harbor, such as the famous salmon-infused vodka (don’t say yuck till you try it) and more conventional distilled brews.
Perhaps the community’s favorite event is the Haunted House offered on Halloween. Or the upcoming Carnival by the Sea, July 10-13.
The Lions Club gives away hundreds of free toys to children in the Adventist Mendocino Coast Hospital, where children come every day of the year. Hundreds of toys help kids as they are terrified, hurt, and getting shots or examined by medical staff. Mentally ill and elderly people sometimes also love to hug one of the big teddy bears. The Lions Club also distributes free new crosswords and other puzzle books to patients.
The Lions club offers the annual Easter Egg Hunt and a toy run in the fall and as much other stuff as we can take on.
We really, really need more members as the Lions core is getting very old! Please come out and hear why you should join us for incredible fun monthly dinners and charity work.
I have been a Lions member and participant for many years, but I’m not one of the handful that carries this club on their backs. Much will be lost if we don’t get more people coming in! I have worked hard at my favorite event, where we spend Christmas Day cooking dinners for shut-in people, driven by volunteers (now the Redwood Coast Senior Center volunteers). If more people would join us, we could resume having the sit-down Christmas dinner in the hall, which once packed our hall full of seniors.
The Lions Club Escape. Adventure, a history-themed escape room adventure, has become popular. Learn tonite how you can schedule one.
The prizes include 1 escape room adventure team certificate, 2 tickets to the Carnival. and 2 tickets to the Haunted House. The Chamber will pick the winners in a business card drawing.
Some of the fabulous toys hospital staff give out for us in the emergency room will also be prizes. Your kids and grandkids (and you too) will LOVE these big, fun toys.
There’s much more! Come out and meet the Lions and find out about our monthly speaker program and just have fun. The public is invited.
