Special Club Project
The Laytonsville Lions Club Medical Equipment Loan Locker, a Lions Clubs Centennial Service Challenge Project, Legacy Project 2, was dedicated on September 16, 2017. The club members completely renovated a historic building behind the Laytonsville Town Hall to store our medical equipment. The building was falling down and was considered a hazard. With approval from the town historic committee, the club was granted approval to renovate as long as the materials used were the same as the original building. After our club received a matching fund grant from the state of Maryland, the work began.The town was very pleased with our success and gave our club a 30-year lease. The medical locker includes items such as wheelchairs, crutches, canes, hospital beds, scooters, potty and shower seats, etc. More equipment is planned to be purchased. The equipment will be loaned to anyone in the community and surrounding area upon request.
