With gloves on and tools in hand, club members showed up in full force, eager to help refresh and beautify the heart of Camas
CAMAS — The Camas Lions Club rolled up their sleeves and joined forces with the Downtown Camas Association this past Sunday for the annual Downtown Camas Cleanup event. With gloves on and tools in hand, club members showed up in full force, eager to help refresh and beautify the heart of Camas.
Throughout the morning, Lions volunteers worked hard pulling weeds, removing invasive ivy, trimming overgrown bushes, planting colorful flowers, and spreading fresh beauty bark across downtown spaces. Their efforts were part of a larger community initiative to prepare Camas for the busy spring and summer seasons, ensuring that both residents and visitors can enjoy a vibrant and welcoming downtown environment.

“The Camas Lions are proud to support projects that make a visible difference in our community,” said Stephanie O’Dell, President of the Camas Lions Club. “We believe in the power of service, and it was inspiring to see so many volunteers come together to make downtown Camas shine.”
The Camas Lions Club has a long history of community involvement, and participation in events like the Downtown Camas Cleanup is just one way the club continues to live out its Lions International motto: “We Serve“, and Camas Lions Annual President’s theme: “Even Better Together.”
