Director's Message
Fellow Lions and Friends of the Foundation,
The Foundation is very pleased to announce the generous contributions of twenty Multiple District 39 Lions clubs at this year's Parade of Checks in Sun Valley Idaho. The twenty clubs from Ontario Oregon to Preston Idaho, donated a total of $33,000 to help support the vital services of the Foundation and the enrichment of their communities. The donated funds will be used to pay for eye surgeries, visual aids, hearing aids and provide free health screenings to those who otherwise would not have the opportunity. 100 percent of the contributions will go DIRECTLY back into our Eastern Oregon and Southern Idaho communities!
The Idaho Lions Eye Bank recently opened their first satellite office in Pocatello, Idaho. Stay tuned for an announcement regarding our open house.
Please call with questions and thank you for the opportunity to SERVE you and your communities.
