Richmond West Breakfast Lions Club

Wheelchair Ramp Construction Project

The Richmond West Breakfast Lions Club is collaborating with Project: Home to build and install wheelchair ramps for elderly and physically disabled residents of the Greater Richmond Metropolitan area. Lions Pete Sizemore, Barry Yaffe, and Bob Pratt join other volunteers at the Project: Home warehouse, 88 Carnation Street, Richmond, Virginia, every other Tuesday from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM to build the components for the wheelchair project. The team then installs the ramp on Thursday. Come out and join us for a very worthwhile project. ElderHomes provides the materials, tools, and instructions. Call Lion Bob at 777-9753, send him an e-mail message at rpratt08@verizon.net or call Lion Pete Sizemore at 288-0999 or send him an e-mail message at pjsizemore@aol.com if you are interested in participating or if you need additional information.

Henrico County Volunteer Litter Pickup Program

The Henrico Volunteer Litter Control Program offers citizen volunteers the opportunity to become proactive in the fight against litter throughout Henrico County. The Richmond West Breakfast Lions Club under the leadership of Lion Pat Hoggard adopted the two-mile stretch of Skipwith Road between Broad Street and Parham Road. Club members pick up litter four times a year. The county provides trash bags, gloves, vests (on loan), and trash pick-up if needed. The Lions provide the labor, teamwork, and fellowship. Shown here are Lions (L-R) Calvin Easter, Kevin Dunn, Bruce Langhorne, Walter Douglas, Team Captain Pat Hoggard, Club President Dick Boaz, and Bob Pratt. (Not shown are Lions Dave and Kathy Bauer)
