WHITTIER: Check Presentation time. Whittier Host Lions drives around #Whittier dropping off cash towards worthy causes. Today’s event was at the Uptown Whittier #YMCA. $1500 to help them modify classrooms inside the facility to help better serve our community and our Youth in particular.
Youth Committee Chair @chrisvigilre is joined by current President Rick Gomez, Past President Steve Cauffman and current Civic Affairs Chair Ray Perez.
Both Steve and Ray are recent recipients of the City of Whittier Volunteer of the Year Award.
The beauty of the Whittier Host Lions Club is that every member volunteers their time, energy and enthusiasm absolutely FREE.
This allows 100% of the all money raised by the club to go right back into the community in the form of Grants and Scholarships.
