Hello Lion members, Hurricane Harvey was the first major hurricane to make landfall in the US since Wilma in 2005, ending a record of 12-year period with no major hurricanes
In four day period, many areas received more than 40 inches of rain. With peak periods of 51.88 inches, Harvey is the wettest tropical cyclone on record in the contagious US.
The storm has displaced hundreds and thousands of homes and 30,000 people not to mention the loss of lives of children, pets and livestock.
Our prayers go out to everyone. So how can we help? Several Lion members have already made donations. Lion Marsha will be providing some contact information in our bulletin. The LCI will be making a $100,000 donation. All of your voices should be heard
All of our random acts of kindness counts. So Lions do what it takes. Reach out in what small way you can.
Thanks for letting me serve
Until we meet again See you on the 12th of September.
Lion President Patrick 2017-2018

Lion Don Isaacs Veterans’ Fishing Trip
Lions Veterans Charities, Inc. (4-C4) took 14 veterans from Ft. Miley VA and Menlo
Park on "The Lion Don Isaacs Veterans’ Fishing Trip" on August 15, 2017. The
veterans thoroughly enjoyed the trip. For many of them, it was their first trip. The
veterans managed to catch 8 fish. For the first time, the club invited all three VA
Hospitals and all planned on sending veterans but, Palo Alto had to cancel due to last
minute conflicts. It was also the first Veterans Fishing Trip funded entirely by a Lion,
Don Isaacs of Foster City Lions Club. Even though the veterans caught a few salmon,
Lion Don and Kris received some fresh salmon steaks and, through the other
supporters of the club, fresh Yellowtail Tuna steaks! Due to the tremendous support
for these projects, the club is now planning a Disabled Veterans Fishing Program this
coming Spring, for the many veterans who have been unable to go on these trips.
More information will be provided as the club develops details on this new
adventure.
