Quick Summary of Year 2006 to 2007 by Judy Burbank

I found the year as president to be very challenging! We had many successful fund raisers including a Christmas Craft Sale, Octoberfest, Valentine dinner, St.Patricks day dinner, Plant sale, Auction, etc. These funds allowed us to provide glasses for the needy, fund our Scholarship and Student of the month Programs, support the Senior Center, Leo Club, Yankee Clipper, Diabetes, Scouts, Care and White Cane. Membership continues to be a challenge as we lost two members during the year. Lions Club is a great service club and continues to do many great projects in our local community as well as internationally. Our club contributed over $3000 to the Sight First II campaign to eradicate preventable blindness in the world.

Ed McDowell, Past President

Used Eyeglasses and Hearing Aids: Each year the West Seattle Lions collect these for recycling. The glasses are used in other countries for people who are unable to afford them through the normal channels. Last year we collected over 1500 pair of glasses! The used hearing aids are sent to the U. of Washington Audiology Department and then are dispensed locally through our Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation. Following are a list of locations of our collection boxes in West Seattle:

If you are unable to deposit them at one of these locations leave a message on our contact page and we will arrange for a pick up.
