SEQUIM — The Sequim Valley Lions Club will host its sixth annual crab feed at Pioneer Park from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.
Locally purchased Dungeness crab — along with kernel corn, coleslaw, a roll and soda or water — will be served at the park at 387 E. Washington St.
Those who prefer pizza can purchase slices made by Westside Pizza. Beer and wine will be available.
Live music and a silent auction also are planned.
Whole crab dinners are $25, half are $18, pizza is $2 a slice and beer and wine are $5 each. Cash, checks and major credit cards will be accepted.
“Last year, we served 250 dinners at $25, and you can’t get that [at that price] in a restaurant,” said club member David Blakeslee. “All the profits go to the club.”
The Lions Club will use the money to provide exams and accommodation devices for Sequim charities serving the sight- and hearing-impaired.
“Service is our motto, and we’re trying to get bigger and better in the community to help more people,” Blakeslee said.
Among groups that have benefited from the club this year are the Greywolf PTA for its playground, the Sequim Food Bank, area veterans and the Olympic Peninsula Academy’s Destination Imagination team for travel expenses to its finals.
Club members also have built ramps for those who need them.
“I find it [our work] fulfilling and fun,” Blakeslee said.
The Sequim Valley Lions Club, which has 27 members, meets the second and fourth Thursdays at the Paradise Restaurant, 703 N. Sequim Ave. New members are welcome.
