We had a ton of fun at this year’s Golden Days Parade! Our thanks to the friends and family that joined us in the parade route, to all those who waved and applauded as we walked down San Gabriel avenue, and to Ralph Munoz, Albert Lopez, and Domenic Valentino for lending us the beautiful cars and driving them during the parade.
We’re looking forward to next year!
Our friends at Canyon City Barbeque will be hosting and graciously providing the food and beverages (beer and wine is available for purchase). Cost is just $8, and all proceeds and donations will go to benefit the positive personal and teambuilding work of Azusa National Little League.
Lions will also be collecting useable-condition glasses, cell phones, and used printer cartirges for the Campaign for 1,000 Pairs! Bring personal donations, or collect donations from others in your company or place of business.
To RSVP, contact the Azusa Chamber of Commerce at 626.334.1507 or send email to information@azusalions.org.

We’re pretty excited about winning 1st Place in Azusa’s 2009 Golden Days Parade. (Here’s a picture of our trophy.) Our enthusiastic group walked with the Eye-Mobile and spread the work about the free eye testing, diabetes testing, and bicycle helmets that we distributed to kids the following day.
Members of the Azusa Canyon City Lions will be proudly parading alongside our Eye-Mobile in this year’s “Western Memories” Golden Days Parade. The parade begins at 11:00 a.m., and runs south along San Gabriel Avenue, from 11th to 3rd Street. We hope to see you there!

Our first “Lions Share” Business Mixer event was a huge success! In attendance were Lions from the Canyon City Club, visiting Lions and dignitaries (District Governor Larry Discuss and cabinet members), local business people, and a number of supporters of Our Neighborhood Homework House (www.neighborhoodhomeworkhouse.org) – the evening’s spotlight nonprofit organization. In total, we had over 50 people attend and raised almost $600 for the Homework House!
The Homework House received special gifts from Athens Services and the Irwindale Lions Club, plus all the proceeds from the entrance fees and tire races. In addition, Express Tire and Auto Service (633 N. San Gabriel Avenue, Azusa, CA. 91702) will be giving free oil changes throughout the month of October to anyone who comes in and makes a gift of $25 or more to the Homework House.
Special thanks to Lions members Louie and Rosario Rosales for the use of the Express Tire and Auto Service site, to the Azusa Chamber of Commerce for their help and support, and to all the individuals and businesses who donated items and raffle prizes for this event.
The "Lions Share" mixers provide a forum for businesses to connect with local residents and business people and support a worthy oprganization/cause at the same time. We look forward to seeing you at the next “Lions Share” mixer! .
