Gresham Breakfast Lions

Gresham Breakfast Lions The Gresham Breakfast Lions Club provides assistance to individuals with sight and hearing needs. We serve.

By taking an active role in the greater Gresham community's civic, cultural, social, and moral welfare, we promote good citizenship. When it comes to meeting challenges, our response is simple: We serve. In 206 countries, in hospitals and senior centers, in regions battered by natural disaster, in schools and eyeglass recycling centers, Lions are doing community volunteer work, helping, leading, p

lanning and supporting. Because we're local, we can serve the unique needs of the communities we live in. And because we're global, we can address challenges that go beyond borders.

Hogan Cedar Elementary invited our club to their celebration for the 250th birthday of our nation. It was a pleasure to meet these most polite and engaging students.
Our Flags for 1st Graders (and 2nd) was a huge success. And Lion Floyd as always was the hit of the event. We look forward to returning next year for another presentation.

Robert Torres was our guest speaker today. Inspirational!
Robert shared the raw and real story of what it means to press reset — the breathtaking highs, the moments of doubt, and the unexpected clarity that comes when you push yourself far outside your comfort zone.
After a pivotal moment in his personal life, Robert made a bold decision — to lace up his boots and trek the legendary Salkantay (Sol Con Tie) Trail through the Peruvian Andes to Machu Picchu.
