On August 27, 2024, the Lakewood First Lions Club supported the Boys & Girls Club of Puget Sound by painting their Lakewood Branch’s workspace, called the Larry Saunders Office Suite.
Saunders, who is deceased, was the Lakewood Police Chief, an Army veteran, a Lakewood First Lion, and Sally Saunder’s husband, who is currently an active Lion.
The project was completed with eight Lions: Bob Allen, Charles Ames, Jessie Baird, Mike Brandstetter, Melissa Burke-Cain, Robin Ferguson, Jessie Garner, and Lisa Ikeda. The project was completed in three hours.
