Special Note From Your Webmaster
Welcome to the newly redesigned Fraser River Valley Lions Club Web Site! I hope everyone enjoys the updated look, additional information and completely revised format. Please "play" with the tabs and all the various pages to see what they have and how things are organized.
Because so many of our members have slow internet connections here in rural Colorado, there are no moving images, flashing banners or the like. There are also very few photos on the site itself, but there is an easy link to our extensive on-line photo album.
Please view this web site as a "work in progress" which will always keep evolving and changing. Also keep in mind that I can give you my personal guarantee that this site is not perfect. When you find errors in spelling, formatting, links that don't do what they should, or any other problems, please let me know.
Also note that there is a now a reason to log in (not yet to register) to the web site. The club roster as well as meeting minutes and agendas are available ONLY to authorized users who log in. If you need log in instructions, please contact me directly.
Remember this is your web site. It's here to serve you as Lions and community members. I look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions!

January/February 2012 Powder Partners Schedule & Info
For those of us who already know they want to volunteer for Powder Partners, simply follow this
link to the full schedule. Here is the January 23 volunteer update from Howard:
Justin and I have been reviewing the bidding on expected volunteers for the Surefoot Colorado Ski Cup Downhill and Super-G scheduled to be run this week Monday, 23 Jan through Friday, 27 Jan. We're in dire need of expanding our numbers of Powder Partner vols. Why "Powder Partner vols"??? 'Cause these weekday races have almost no participation from "parent vols"...they're working on earning their livings during the week.
