April 25, 2026, while other members are doing park clean up, six others Lion members are raising funds and awareness about White Cane Days, a powerful symbol of empowerment and independence. White Cane Days signifies that the pedestrian using it is blind or visually impaired; Alerts motorists of the need to exercise special caution and provide the user the right of ways; Symbolizes the independence, confidence and skills of the person who is using it, a true testament to the human spirit.

On April 25, 2026, the Portage Lions Club made a significant impact during Lions Environmental Week by organizing a park cleanup event at Liberty Park in Portage. Two Lion members and nine students from Portage Central High and Middle School joined forces to kick-start the morning with a collective effort to protect the environment and demonstrate the Lions' commitment to community service.

It is truly a profound privilege to be recognized as one of the top 10 Youth Exchange chairs out of 130 countries, and I am deeply grateful to the following individuals and groups whose unwavering support has been instrumental in this achievement: host/sponsor families, host/sponsor clubs, districts/chairs, and our multiple district 11 for their selfless financial and physical contributions to this program. I would also like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Lion Wendy Burns for her inspiring encouragement for me to chair this program. Special thanks to our PCC Terri Ann Pease-Huffman for nominating me for this prestigious YCE category.
