The Santa Cruz Host Lions Club participates in three Lions conventions. First is the District 4C-6 convention, which is held in Sacramento and attended by 300 Lions from Redwood City to King City. At District a governor is elected, awards are given to members for outstanding service for the year and much fun is had by all.
