Dear Lion Visioneers,
I hope your Thanksgiving was a happy and healthy one.
My reason for this letter is to remind everyone that I am waiting for reports from many of the clubs that I know screened their neighborhood children this fall. I have heard from only 4 clubs so far but know there are several more who have held vision screenings in their area.
I am aware of the complications from Covid that still plague our lives and our service projects. All I ask is that if you have been able to get into a school, please forward those numbers to me as soon as possible. I would also appreciate a quick email notification if your club chose not to screen or was unable to get clearance to do your usual screenings. This helps me get a better picture of things in our District.
The Granville Lions Club Foundation donated $500 on Oct. 23 to the Mettowee Valley Senior Citizens Club. The donation was in recognition of the club's 50th anniversary in Granville. Pictured L-R are Mettowee Seniors President Carol McGivern, Granville Lions Club Foundation Treasurer Phil Weaver, and Granville Lions Secretary Michael Angiolillo. Back in 1977, the Granville Lions Club donated the building the Mettowee seniors still use for their functions.
Londonderry Tri-Mtn Lions recently donated a Trek bench to Pingree Dog Park. Londonderry Parks Board member Steve Bergleitner with his dog Stella are happy to have a bench in the park.
