Lions Den – Legion Field
It is with a sad heart – we have close the Lions Den at Legion Field. After over 60 years of “manning” the Lions Den, Umpqua Lions has decided to close. We will miss you all. We are looking for other fundraisers to do in addition to our Annual Golf Tourney that we will continue to host so we will still be able to help the needy in our community with glasses, hearing aids and scholarships. We are always looking for new members that want to help give back to this wonderful community we call “home in Douglas County”.
