Every summer, the Al Boe Lions Wheelchair Warehouse goes to the Lynden Fair, where we have a booth just opposite the main entrence. Here Fair-geors can rent power scooters and chairs, manual chairs, and children's strollers. This service enables hundreds of people to enjoy the fair in comfort who would otherwise not be able to attend. It is also our only fund-raising event and provides about one-third of our annual operating budget. |

The Wheelchair Warehouse was opened at its current location in 1991 upon the completion of what is now our repair center. This picture and those that follow were taken at the dedication of this facility. Here we see Lions from the Bellingham Central Lions Club and Multiple District 19 - primarily those who participated in creating and operating this facility during its first decade. |
