Honoring the Air National Guard
Sunday, Sept. 27th- The Capitola Coast Lions honored the Air National Guard in an event hosted by local agencies at the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor for their tireless work in County Santa Cruz and across the State of California for assiting those affected during the recent fires. The Air National Guard has also worked around the clock under duress for many month to get food to families facing hunger and homelessness since the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic.
The host boat was Mega Bite Charter Boat Captained by none other than Lion Captain Tom Dolan. The Lions hosting the boat were so delighted to be able to be a part of the event that honored these great men and women for their efforts.

Building Obelisk Trellises Service Project
Saturday, Sept. 19th- The Capitola Coast Lions built several obelisk/trellises to be used during the 2021 crop year for plant upstarts and at the Spring Farm Sale.
President Fred and Director Dylan created the first prototypes from wood and bamboo. The construction was very easy. A saw was used to cut the wood. Most of the work required screwing the wood pieces together. Lions brought screw guns or drills; the work was easy.
Special thanks to Kirby Wilkins for volunteering to provide the lumber needed for this project. Also a special thank you to Lion Vrinda Quintero for providing the fabulous food for the volunteers.
This was a great day to come out to the farm and learn more about our vision for serving our community.
