Spreading Holiday Cheer and Raising Funds in Yosemite Valley

Though we didn't sell them all, the Yosemite Lions Club offered trees, wreaths and flower bulbs for sale in Yosemite Valley on December 3rd to raise funds for community projects.  Hosted annually on the same day as the Yosemite Village Store Holiday Party, the Lions Club operates a sales table outside of the store to tempt shoppers and party-goers with holiday decor.  This year, in addition to live potted mini trees and fresh greenery wreaths, flower bulb kits of Amaryllis and Paperwhites and live potted 4 foot trees were also available.

Lions Club members were on hand selling trees and wreaths from 11:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. in front of the store and all items were made available during the store party throughout the evening.  Lions Club Secretary Brett Archer even offered to deliver items to community members in Curry Village, in true holiday spirit.

Thanks to members Kym, Brett, Michelle, Yolanda, Jodi and Mike for staffing the sales table with special thanks to Lions Club volunteer Shani as the sub for her husband Sean!  Thanks to the Yosemite community members (and visitors!) who support Lions Club fundraisers in Yosemite National Park.
