HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

We all love to celebrate birthdays and this time is no exception. Three (3), that’s right, three years old. The Ronald McDonald Heartfelt house celebrated its third birthday with an open house BBQ on Friday, September 9th.

According to Robin Yozzo, Guest Services Director of Heartfelt House, despite the menacing sky and ashy air throughout the evening, she felt that everyone who attended had a great time.

Lion Kat Chinn and her son-in-law Josh along with Robin Yozzo’s husband Carlo did all of the bar-b-queuing. Lion Kat even returned the next day, the actual 3rd birthday itself, to serve a scrumptious brunch for the Heartfelt House guests.

Blondie, the Riverbed Horse, was a special guest who celebrated by eating carrot treats. Visitors had their pictures taken with Blondie, had their faces painted, and were entertained by a very cool balloon guy.

The Eugene Downtown Lions Club helped to spearhead the effort to bring the family side of Heartfelt house to fruition while the Ronald McDonald Charities was in charge of the children’s side. It’s been quite a journey from construction to a successful operation.

FOOD RESCUE/ FOOD FOR LANE COUNTY

Be There or Be Square
Lion Darlene Tomasec

On the second Tuesday of each month, a group of EDT Lions meet at Food for Lane County. The needs change every month and members may be asked to repackage prepared foods for a family of four, inspect and package frozen meat, fill bags with Yogi tea or label hundreds of loaves of bread. It's a great evening of socializing while working for the good of our community.
