Flags

The Edmonds Lions Club's first flag day, scheduled for Martin Luther King day in January of 1990, almost didn't happen. 

Flags were ordered but had not yet arrived. Fortunately, Lions member and Past-President, Jack Hacket, worked at Evergreen-Washelli Cemetery and was able to borrow  90 Veterans Day flags on hand to tide the Club over until the flag shipment arrived. It was an interesting assortment of flags. Some were quite old, and the number of stars on those flags represented by-gone eras. The Club now posts over 300 flags throughout Edmonds on designated holidays.

Health Screening Van

The Lions Sight and Hearing Health Screening van is a 62 foot long, medically equipped vehicle that provides free health screening at schools, fairs, and other public events. The screenings include diabetes, glaucoma, high blood pressure, and sight and hearing loss. The van's schedule brings it to the Edmonds area during October.   

Food Bank Raffle

Our popular annual raffle to benefit the Edmonds Food Bank was cancelled until further notice because of the COVID virus. Smaller less crowded events to help the Food Bank are held throughout the year.

Perrinville Garden

The flower garden on the corner of the Perrinville Post Office property in Edmonds was established in 1995 as a community service project to be maintained by the Meadowdale High School Leos, a group of community minded teens mentored by the Edmonds Lions Club. Over the years the project was carried on by the Girl Scouts and the Leos. In time park maintenance came back to the Edmonds Lions Club pictured to the right sprucing up the daffodil corner of the garden.
