I am collecting clothing, household goods, Jewelry. for the Lions Closet Thrift Store in Pittsburg (no magazines, no books, please!) Also, I am asking for all of you to save your “pull tabs” that you get off your soda pop/beer cans, etc. to be used for school art projects.

Lions Club International Mission Statement: To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions Clubs.
Discovery Bay Lions Mission Statement: Whenever a Lions Club gets together, problems get smaller, and communities get better. That's because we help where help is needed – in our own communities and around the world – with unmatched integrity and energy. (Since 1983 the Discovery Bay Lions Club has raised over a million & half dollars for our great community. Fundraising events from Boat Shows, Concerts, Golf Tournaments, Poker Runs, Crab Feeds, Car shows and many more, have allowed us to provide help in many ways to so many kids and other organizations in Discovery Bay and beyond. Composed by Lion Dave Ciruli)
