6 The Lion s Tale Bulletin September 7, Lion Don Isaacs Veterans Fishing Trip Lions Veterans Charities, Inc. (4-C4) took 14 veterans from Ft. Miley VA and Menlo Park on "The Lion Don Isaacs Veterans Fishing Trip" on August 15, The veterans thoroughly enjoyed the trip. For many of them, it was their first trip. The veterans managed to catch 8 fish. For the first time, the club invited all three VA Hospitals and all planned on sending veterans but, Palo Alto had to cancel due to last minute conflicts. It was also the first Veterans Fishing Trip funded entirely by a Lion, Don Isaacs of Foster City Lions Club. Even though the veterans caught a few salmon, Lion Don and Kris received some fresh salmon steaks and, through the other supporters of the club, fresh Yellowtail Tuna steaks! Due to the tremendous support for these projects, the club is now planning a Disabled Veterans Fishing Program this coming Spring, for the many veterans who have been unable to go on these trips. More information will be provided as the club develops details on this new adventure.
