Diamond Bar – The Diamond Bar Lions Club did a lot during the month of February, including holding fundraisers, going to events, holding meetings, beautifying local areas, holding contests, and so much more. Here are a few highlights of what’s happening at the Diamond Bar Lions Club.
The Diamond Bar Lions Club was recognized for their excellence by receiving an award in the month of February. At the Third District Cabinet Meeting held at Westridge Golf Course and County Club in La Habra, the Diamond Bar High School Leo Club was recognized by Immediate Past District Governor, PJ Smith, for receiving the “Club Excellence Award” from Lions International. All the Leo Clubs around the world are considered, but DBHs was the only Leo Club from California to receive the award.
The Lions Club held a fundraiser at Bob’s Big Boy Restaurant in Diamond Bar last month. The Lions Club thanks the owner, Lion James Tsai, for allowing the fundraiser to happen at his restaurant, and they thank Lions, Leos, friends, and family for attending. Make sure to stop by their next fundraiser at Bob’s Big Boy on March 26.
In addition, the Lions Club held a Student Speaker Contest, where two student speakers from the Diamond Bar High School Leo Club gave a presentation of their speech at the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Sabrina Liang, Director of International Publicity, was announced as the winner.
The Diamond Bar High School Leos also did a lot of work throughout the community by picking up trash and recyclables at the school, cleaning the Ronald McDonald House in the City of Orange, cleaning up Leo Square by pulling weeds, trimming hedges, planting new flowers, and scrapping off gum.
Some events and people the Lions and Leos visited included: the Miss Diamond Bar Pageant’s Fashion Show to support contestant Leo Isabelle Chang; Sylmar to visit and tour the Guide Dogs of America facility; the La Habra Host Lions Club; and Lion James Farmer and Emma due to Lion James taking a leave of absence because of health issues.
