POSTPONED! New date will be coming soon.
We didn't receive as many signups as we had hoped, which is completely understandable given this busy season filled with graduations, weddings, and vacations.
No worries at all! We're already working on scheduling another date and look forward to coming together soon to create magic for children facing difficult times.
Thank you so much for your interest and support.
POSTPONED! New date coming soon!
The Saratoga Lions are excited to host a Magic Yarn Project volunteer event on Sunday, June 7, from 2:00–4:00 PM at the Saratoga Senior Center. This heart‑warming project brings volunteers together to create soft, whimsical yarn wigs for children undergoing cancer treatment — a simple act of kindness that brings comfort, confidence, and joy.
Volunteers will help assemble and embellish princess and superhero‑themed yarn wigs. No crafting experience is needed — just a willingness to help and a warm heart. All supplies will be provided.
Everyone is welcome! Families, teens, seniors, first‑time volunteers — this is a gentle, creative, community‑building activity perfect for all ages.

Visioning Corner Pause, breathe, and get clear. Guests are guided through a simple visioning practice, reflecting on what they’re releasing and what they’re ready to receive, and leave with something written in their own hand to take home.
Nervous System Reset A permission slip to just… land. Rooted in Positive Intelligence and mental fitness, this short experience uses breath and grounding to quiet the noise and bring guests back to center.
Sound Moment In a garden setting, sound heals differently. Guests drop in, close their eyes, and let the vibration of live sound instruments move through them. No doing, no thinking, just receiving.
There will be three, 25 minute sessions held for each of the three areas. Start times are 5:30 pm, 6:00 pm, and 6:30 pm. Each session has a maximum capacity of 15 people.
Participants may choose to create a vision board to promote Mental Wellness by incorporating items like the ones outlined below.

Imagine a service club built for the way people live today.
A place where you can make a real difference in your community without spending your life in meetings. A place where friendships grow naturally, ideas flow freely, and everyone — Lions and non‑Lions alike — feels welcome.
That’s the vision behind our new Saratoga Lions model: Service first. Camaraderie always. Meetings kept simple.
1‑2‑3 Go Lions! gives you a rhythm that fits real life:
1 hour a month of fast, focused Zoom time to handle business
2 hours in person for connection, laughter, and community‑building
3 ways to engage — service, social, and learning from speakers who spotlight local needs
You’ll meet neighbors, discover new ways to serve, and help shape projects that matter — all while being part of a club that values your time, your ideas, and your heart for community.
If you’ve been looking for a place to belong, to contribute, and to grow, the Saratoga Lions are ready to welcome you in.
Join us — and let’s build something meaningful together. 1‑2‑3 Go Lions!
