The Lake Cowichan Lion’s Club, situated on Oak Lane, was defaced sometime in the evening of Nov. 28. President Sam Beldessi says he and other members were told about the graffiti the next morning. “We were really taken aback when we were told that someone had done that,” Beldessi said. The building will have to be stripped and repainted, Beldessi says, and it will take most of the funds the club usually donates to different organizations through their fundraising efforts to be able to pay for the work that needs to be done.
