News Release

Yachats Lions Vision Screening On February 18, 2025 -02/05/25

In partnership with the Oregon Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation's (OLSHF) SVS program the Yachats Lions will be offering Vision Screening for our Home School children in South Lincoln County as well as those attending the YYFAP preschool. The screening will occur at the Lions Hall from 9am to 4pm on Tuesday, February 18th and is available for ages 3 to 18. It is also open to anyone other child that might have missed the screening at their public, private, or charter school.

 

Please visit https://yachatslionsclub.org/2025-yachats-lions-vision-screening-feb-18th/ for more info about this event and the Yachats Lions.

 

At the time of the screening parents will be provided a handout with the results of the screening and some information on next steps. Unlike our statewide SVS program, where we are often reimbursed by the state, this screening will be funded by the Lions and OLSHF.

 

We hope to see many children and their families and are looking forward to making this an annual event. There is no need to contact us in advance.

Yachats Lions Club And Ladies Club Announces Random Acts Of Kindness Day - February 14, 2025 -01/30/25

For Immediate Release
Lion David O'Kelley and Judy Elbert
yachatslionsclub.org and yachatsladiesclub.org


Ten years ago, the Yachats Ladies Club began a partnership with the Yachats Lions Club to
spread a bit of joy throughout our community by participating in the Random Acts of Kindness
Foundation week national event. Sweet Treats (Random Acts of Kindness) were delivered to
unsuspecting workers in City offices, Libraries, Businesses and to special individuals. Containers
were filled with homemade cookies and decorated packages were delivered by volunteers and
a new tradition was started. Unfortunately, due to Covid health restrictions, deliveries stalled
for a couple of years. In 2023 the Lions and Ladies clubs restarted the event and almost 100
packages were delivered!


Established in 1927, the Yachats Ladies Club has been called upon several times a year to make
sweet treats for many community events, including the Winter Solstice Bonfire, Santa's visit to
Heceta Head Lighthouse, the New Years Day Peace Hike and City Receptions. Fundraising
events include hosting a hot dog feed on July 4th and annually we sell raffle tickets for a
beautiful quilt with all of the proceeds used for scholarships at Oregon Coast Community
College. After upkeep of our building costs, donations are made to local entities like, Samaritan
House, Lincoln County Resources, local Food Banks, Lincoln County Literacy, The Hub, and
Humane Society. Although our membership consists of nearly 50 members, some only living
part-time in Yachats, over 15 members can be depended upon to bake and craft for the
community's benefit.
