LIONS COLLECT USED HEARING AIDS

We can use  hearing aids that are  no longer of use to you. Hearing aids are recycled so  hearing impaired people  will have their  hearing improved. Give some fortunate person in a developing country the gift of improved  hearing by donating your used  hearing aids to the Lions. To donate, please contact: Lion Verta Duggan (275-5225);   Lion Donna Crossley(689-2075);  Lion Marlene Duffney(275-5324); or any other member of the Lions Club.

 

USED EYEGLASSES: Our club collects used eyeglasses that are sent to the CNIB for distribution to developing countries. Collection boxes are at the New Ross Credit Union in New Ross and  the Chester Pharmasave and Baptist Church in Chester. If you want to donate used eyeglasses, put them in a collection box or contact one of the Lions.  NEW ROSS AREA: Lions Donna Crossley 689-2075 and Gerald Davis 689-2156; CHESTER BASIN AREA: Lion  Marlene Duffney 275-5324;  CHESTER AREA: Lion Verta Duggan  275-5255. More than one-fourth of the population in developing countries need corrective lenses.  Therefore, by taking the time to donate your used eyeglasses, you will help improve the quality of someone's life in a developing country.

 

NORTHWOOD IN TOUCH: Our club is a satellite for Northwood In Touch, a
personal response system to be used in emergencies. We install and maintain
two different units, one that is used in conjunction with a regular
telephone, and one that replaces the regular telephone. The new 9500 unit
has personal reminders that can be programmed into the unit, such as
reminding  the client when to take medication, or when the home care worker
is coming, etc.  As well as being a valuable service activity, this program
is a fund-raiser as we get an installation fee , as well as a monthly
maintenance fee per unit.  For  information contact  FRANK MEISTER 689 -2150
in the New Ross area or  Lion  JIM BARKHOUSE  275-2030 in the Chester and Chester Basin areas.
 
 
 
VIAL OF LIFE PROGRAM: This  program  involves providing vials in which medication information is stored. These vials are stored in the upper right part of the fridge and a decal on the door to the house tells emergency staff that there is a vial in the fridge containing pertinent medical information , a list of medications, family doctor, etc. All funding for this program was raised by way of corporate sponsorship. Vials are  available for distribution. For more information about this program contact Lion SANDRA ZWICKER (275-3629). 

 FROZEN FAVORITE MEALS:  Frozen Favorites: Available in the New Ross, Chester and Chester Basin areas. In New Ross call Lion Frank Meister 689-2150, or Lion Sharon Rafuse 689-2402.
