MORE LCIF GRANT FUNDS went to the Azle Lions Club. Members met with Azle
Independent School District and Nine Mile Ministries to locate families in their
community affected by the recent 2021 Snow Storm. Each of the three families
affected all had freezing pipes. Lions purchased $600 worth of food and water. Each
family received $200 worth of groceries. Azle Lions were able to plan a "Free Water
Giveaway" due to their efforts to get cases of water donated to the community.
MARCH IS VISION SAFETY MONTH
The LOEB ceased lending equipment during the height of the pandemic in theinterest of protecting children and Lions. We have recently started consideringindividual requests to borrow equipment that include a plan to protect the childrenand Lions for situations that are urgent. There are specific manufacturer guidelineswe need to follow to disinfect any equipment we loan so that we do not damage theequipment but it it safe for the next person.
While the LOEB is not loaning equipment directly, there are some clubs that havebeen able to conduct vision screenings. Recently, the Burleson Club was able toperform 402 vision screenings for pre-k and kindergarten in the BurlesonIndependent School District before the terrible weather hit, and they had 79referrals.We have received several Vision Assistance Grant applications this Lion year, butwe have more money budgeted for 2020-2021! If you know a non-Lion in need of agrant to fund eye-saving surgery, please consider assisting them in applying for aVision Assistance Grant through the LOEB.
