Yosemite Lions Club Bids Fond Farewell to Vice President Michelle Hansen

The October 1 Yosemite Lions Club marked an end of an incredible tenure as an integral member of our club.  With over five years of service here in Yosemite, Michelle spent the last 1.5 years as the club's Vice President.  Her drive, energy and passion are very infections and she brought a lot of great ideas and endless participation.






Michelle's special farewell treat


While Michelle may have left the "den" to pursue a fantastic opportunity in Florida, she will always hold a special place in the "pride."

Yosemite Valley School Participates in Annual Lions Club Peace Poster Contest


 Four YVS students will participate in the 2015/2016 Lions Club Peace Poster Contest.  They joined the Yosemite Lions Club at their October 1 meeting held at The Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite National Park to hear all the details of the annual contest.  In addition, they had the opportunity to experience some of The Ahwahnee's culinary expertise while dining on organic greens, Chicken Marsala, and the hotel's signature cheesecake.  
 This year’s theme is “Share Peace.”  Sponsoring a Peace Poster Contest for a local school or youth group is a great way for Lions to engage young people in their communities — encouraging children to use art to express their thoughts on peace. The results are beautiful, and the impact made on children’s lives and values even more so.

Check back for their artistic submissions.
