Mar 23 program..Art Frey talks about the Lions and the food pantry

Art Frey gave us some info on the food pantry and also what the Lions major projects were. The food pantry is housed at the Moravian Church and thanks to many donations ia able to feed a large number of families. One item which they need are cans od fruit so we have decided to make Charter night a night of donating cans of fruit...bring a can of fruit to Overboards on Mon Mar 30. Art also spoke about the Lions emphasis on blindness and eye conditions.(If you have old glasses lying around the house, donate them to Lions) They support Beacon Lodge which is a five hundred and eighty-three acre summer camp for children and adults with special needs including blindness, deafness, and many other physical and mental challenges. A project which parallels Rotary's well water and other water projects is Lions Clean River Water project...cleaning up river waters to prevent blindness. We were delighted to have so many Lions join our meeting that night and hope that in the future, we can work together on a community project.
