The Pearl City Lions Club continues their efforts to go beyond their community borders to serve communities in need with the help of their partnerships with other District 50 Lions Clubs as well as community organizations, businesses, and government agencies who are committed to improving the lives of our island residents.
The Pearl City Lions have an ambitious community service projects calendar planned for the months of July and August that will involve their club membership and partners in five community related service projects from Saturday, July 27 through Saturday, August 24.
Most recently, on Saturday, July 13, the PC Lions restriped the Nanakuli Elementary School parking lot and also spruced up the school grounds in the area.
Here's a look at upcoming community service projects:
