Truckee Lions' Community Health Fair

Placer County's Oral Health Program provided free dental screenings to children during the club's first-ever health fair.

Dr. Eleanor Britter, past president of the Peninsula Special Interest Lions Club and executive director of the Global Initiative for Health and Wellness, welcomes Truckee Police Department Lt. Lisa Madden with her canine partner, Mugz, to the free diabetes, cholesterol, and blood pressure screenings.

Truckee CHP Officer Carlos Perez installs a free child safety car seat. The Truckee CHP teamed up with Truckee PD to provide free child safety care seat inspections and to give away new child car seats to families who needed them.

Cook Trailer

Lion Don Purdy built our cook trailer in his driveway. We use it for a variety of events, but it also is built for community use and is ready in the event of an emergency. “We serve whatever the need.”
