Lions Clubs International District 204 Celebrates CHamoru Month Through Stories and Community

Families join in the D204 Lions International CHamoru Saturday Story Time on March 7, 2026 via Zoom and in person at the Hagatna Public Library

Biba Mes CHamoru! 🇬🇺🌴 The D204 Lions Clubs CHamoru Saturday Story Time was a wonderful celebration of culture, literacy, and community. A heartfelt Si Yu’os Ma’åse’ goes out to our inspiring Featured Readers, Lion Francisca “Frances” Blanco and Tricia Tenorio, who generously shared their time and voices to bring stories to life for our young listeners and families. Through storytelling, they helped highlight the beauty of CHamoru culture, language, and island traditions during this special month of cultural pride. We also extend our gratitude to the families, children, and community members who joined us and helped make the event meaningful and memorable. We would also like to recognize the Guåhan Isan Famagu'on Lions Club Leos, who, together with Lion Saina Bea, shared traditional amot (medicinal herbs) and explained their importance to our culture. A special Si Yu’os Ma’åse’ also goes out to Mariquita “Tita” Calvo Leon Guerrero for generously providing guguria treats for the storytime. Moments like these remind us that reading together strengthens our connections, nurtures a love of learning, and helps pass our cultural heritage on to the next generation. 📚🌴🇬🇺

As we continue celebrating Mes CHamoru, let us keep the spirit of community alive.  Keep reading, continue sharing our island stories, practice safe boating, and enjoy a joyful and meaningful CHamoru Month! 🦁📚🇬🇺🌴🌺🌊🎉
