We will be selling See’s Candies at the Yachats Lions Labor Day Pancake Breakfast. This is a new fundraiser that we have started to raise money for two additional summer camps that are aligned with Lion’s causes. In support of the Lion’s cause of Diabetes, we already support the Type 1 Diabetes camp, Gales Creek Camp, through our 50/50 raffle at the monthly Lunch Bunch and at our meetings. Our goal via See’s Candies sales it to raise $2000 for each new camp per year.
The first new camp, Camp Millennium, supports children and their families that are going through Cancer and is aligned with the Lion’s cause of Childhood Cancer. The second new camp, Camp Taloali, hosts a summer camp for Deaf and Hard of Hearing children and youth and is aligned with Lion’s because of the challenge that Helen Keller gave the newly formed Lions Clubs International at their convention in 1925.
