In between two storms, District 4-C6 Lions had an absolutely picture-perfect day to walk the Embarcadero for City of Hope Walk for Hope. We were a colorful group and stood out in the crowd of pinks with our purple shirts and pink boas and scarves and pink sprayed hair.
A picture is worth a thousand words and I'm not going to even attempt to say what a grand time we all had. See for yourself the smiles on our faces by viewing my Photoshow entitled Lions for Hope.

We had about 20 walkers from the District and we were the second highest fundraiser with 56 team members. Gallo Sales was number one with 210 members. We'll have to see what we can do next year to top them. We have 30 days to continue to add to our donations, so if you have some friends, relatives or neighbors who forgot, there's still time.
Thank you to all who joined the team and donated to the team and made it a huge success. The original goal was set at $5,000 and we far surpassed that goal and I believe we'll top the $8,000 mark. Thanks, too, for the enthusiastic support of Gov. Bob, First Lady Suzie, City of Hope Chair Maureen Moore and City of Hope Committee Member Joe Pugliese who said go for it when I asked if I could start a District 4-C6 Lions team. And a great big thank you to all the walkers who drove to San Francisco very early on a dark Saturday morning, not knowing if it was going to rain or not, and who made it a very fun day.
Linda Pugliese, Team Captain
