The Santa Cruz Host Lions Club installed Ed Jenkins of Granite Rock as its 85th President at a recent installation ceremony at the Seacliff Inn of Aptos.
President Jenkins recently coordinated the efforts of local Lions with that of Granite Rock to construct a new Bocci Ball court at Harvey West Park. The Bocci Ball Court is expected to be open to the public soon.
Formed by local business people in 1929, Santa Cruz Host Lions Club is one of the largest clubs in Lions District 4C6, and one of the largest in California.
The Lions motto is “We Serve,” and Santa Cruz Host serves Santa Cruz by helping the community’s visually impaired see, the auditory-impaired hear, and our youth to growth up into productive citizens.
Club activities include providing eye surgeries and glasses to local residents; recycling eye glasses to developing nations; providing American Flags for area first graders; building facilities to improve our community; hosting the Lions Bowl High School All Star Football Game; selling Lions Christmas trees; hosting the Lions Nisene Marks Marathon; giving out scholar athlete scholarships; hosting Lions Student Speaker contests; and sponsoring a Youth Foreign exchange program with Lions Clubs around the world.
