Six Successful Service Projects

BY CC TAMMY ROCKENBACH

At District Convention, over 200 Lions around the district and state participated in six service projects. For the Badger Honor Flight, we signed cards of thanks for 235 Veterans to read in Mail Call on the way home from their flight to Washington DC. We made 55 Birthday Kits to be given to the Badger Prairie Needs Network for children having birthdays. Restoring Hope Transplant House was given supplies such as bleach, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags and more. Once again this year, we put together Thank You bags for Health Care Workers, to be distributed to three facilities in our area. For the Pediatric Cancer Patients, we created 53 port accessible t-shirts for patients going through chemo. Blessing Backpacks were put together for the homeless teens in Dane County. We served over 500 with these projects. Many clubs are taking these ideas and adapting them for their own communities.
