KidSight Vision Screening

We screen several hundred preschoolers' vision at various public and private schools over four counties in Colorado.

At one school we worked jointly with the Nederland Lions Club:

Screening the smallest children can be the most challenging:

Fall Fund Raiser

As a fund raiser each year, the Lions Club helps with the Fall Foliage Relay Race, which runs from Idaho Springs to Buena Vista.

Lions Carolyn and Jim started checking running teams in at 3:30 am.

Since this is a relay race, there are exchange points along the route:

Lions Sandy and Brandi helped out at one of the exchange points:

Lions Jack and Dick helped out at another exchange point:

Scholarship

Each year, the lions Club presents a scholarship to a graduating senior at our local Clear Creek High School.

Lions Annie and Jeff presented the award:

Health Fair

Each year, the Lions Club sponsors a health fair in town. People can register online, or just walk in. They can get low-cost blood tests, free screenings in a number of health areas, and in-depth information about many health topics.

This year, the Lions partnered with the Rotary Club to provide volunteers. All-in-all, fourteen Lions and Lions family members participated.

Lions Mike and Vicki, and two of their family, help with the registration for people who signed up online:

Lion Carolyn leads volunteers in registering walk-up people:

Lion Eric helps with body-mass screening, while local dentist provides oral screening:

Lion Sandy provides Mental Health information:

Lions Jim, Mike, and Jeff between assignments:

Assistance to Senior Center

Project Support put on its annual holiday fund raiser at the Senior Center, with to hot chocolate and caroling. Lion Annie represented the Lions Club in helping out.

The weather outside was windy cold, but inside  project support’s holiday fundraiser was delightful with good Cheer and songs from the Evergreen Children's Chorale warming our hearts!

Lions Playground

Decades ago, the Lions Club created a playground in town. It has been updated and renovated from time-to-time, jointly with the city. Here Lion Annie shows off some new publicity posted at the playground.

KidSight Vision Screening

We have been able to get back on our regular schedule. We screen several hundred pre-schoolers at public and private schools and day-care centers in 3 counties nearby.

It takes interaction with the kids, so it is fun as well as very worthwhile.
