Scotts Valley Host Lions Club
Club members were up early on a Saturday morning to clean an adopted section of Highway 17 through the center of Scotts Valley. In addition, members built a new cover for the barbecue pits at the Scotts Valley Senior Center.
Club members continue to serve lunches twice a month at the Senior Center. The club also contributed $400 to sponsor a local Little League team.
Coming up, the lions will host their 15th annual golf tournament on September 14 at Boulder Creek Country Club. Those interested in golfing should call Tim Kirby at 320-5397 or email sc**************@*ol.com. The club will also host its second bocce ball tournament Oct. 7 at Skypark.
