Community Brief
New Lions Club seeks members
Downtown resident Hugh Donagher says he's trying to put the roar back into community service in Mountain View by restarting the Lions Club.
"There was a Lions Club in Mountain View many years ago and I'm told it was a fairly active club," Donagher said in a press release. "We hope to have that again."
The club needs 20 members to start a Mountain View chapter, and already has nearly that amount. Donagher is currently a member of the Sunnyvale Lions.
An informational meeting will be held June 3 at 6:30 p.m. at the Chamber of Commerce office, located at 580 Castro Street (at the rear of the Wells Fargo parking lot.)
There are a reported 1.3 million people in 200 different countries who call themselves Lions members. The club is dedicated to preventing blindness and is known for recycling large quantities of eyeglasses and providing eye surgeries to those in need.
The Mountain View effort already has a Web site: www.siliconvalleylions.com. Donagher can be reached at (650) 967-4541 or by e-mail at hugh.donagher@yahoo.com.
