Greetings,
As your district International Relations Chairperson, I am writing to inform you of some upcoming activities that Lions throughout the world will be doing this year. It is my hope that you too will join in these efforts:
|

|
October – Sharing the Vision Plan vision health projects and work with the visually impaired. Many Lions already celebrate World Sight Day in October. This is a great month to organize a vision screening, volunteer at a nearby Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center, organize an eyeglass collection or an activity to benefit the visually impaired in your community.

|
December/January – Relieving the Hunger Organize food drives and projects to feed the hungry. With the downturn in the global economy, many hunger relief organizations are finding it difficult to keep up with demand. Help alleviate hunger by planning events around the end and beginning of the calendar year to collect and distribute food.

April – Protecting our Environment Implement projects that improve and protect the environment. Organize a highway clean up, plant trees or plan a community “Earth Day” event to collect recycleables such as aluminum cans, plastic bottles, used cell phones and batteries.
