One of our Lions projects that non-Lions frequently ask about is our glasses collection.  Boxes for used glasses are scattered throughout the county--including Piggly-Wiggly, the library, and Save-a-Lot.  Please deposit used glasses, including both prescription and "readers" in those boxes.  They are recycled for use by those who truly need them.  If you want to see how, go to www.lionsclubs.org and check out some of the ways your "trash" changes someone else's life.

We again gave dictionaries to all 3rd grade students in the county schools in conjunction with The Dictionary Project, another non-profit organization.  We chose a paperback copy which is easy for the students to use and to carry. We did manage to work with the Homeschoolers co-op this year, but would love to be able to reach the other homeschooled children, both for dictionaries and eye-screening.

A special project was the installation of 2 benches along the walking trail in Erin.  They were purchased using funds donated in memory of Lion David Julseth and have plaques noting that fact. 

Another big project, in the Centennial Project category, was partnering with Traditions First Bank to install a fenced, inclusive playground in Tennessee Ridge.  It's a great feeling to drive by the playground and see it being well used.  .

Where there is a need, there is a Lion.  WE SERVE.
