Other Club News
Mason Bees: Two Lions sorted mason Bee Cocoons for Crown Bees in Woodinville. These are natural pollinators that are used by orchards and farmers to sublimate the losses of honey bees due to a virus. They have been proven to be almost twice as efficient as the traditional Honey Bees.
Web Site. A young man from Woodinville High School, a freshman, Keanu Thakalath, is getting service hours helping upgrade our e-club house web site. His mother used to work for a Lions Club in India. He is already making an impact by changing the look and adding photos and information. Check it out!
