SIGHT & HEARING REPORT
Foundations Funding
Most funding for Northwest Lions Foundation comes from Sight Life. Next year $461,342 has been budgeted
from Sight Life for NFL. We have budgeted $100,000 from white canes.
White Cane Days
The Wenatchee
Lions Club now owns the machine that makes the white canes and they have
already made 60,000 white canes. Clubs in MD 19 order your white canes and
other supplies thru Marsha from NLF as before.
Mini Health Screening Units
Group Health has agreed to
fund new mini trailers for MD 19. District C has the first mini trailer funded
by Group health. The trailer contains 2 illuminations cabinets, Optical vision
screeners, 4 audiometers, 2 pop up tents, color printer, tables, chairs, fire
extinguisher, first aid kit and more. The trailer is not big enough to do the
screening. The sole purpose of the trailer is to store and transport the
supplies for screening. Group Health is fully funding the trailer and supplies.
The next two areas to get a trailer will be Spokane and Everett.
Group Health is merging
with Kaiser Permanente. The partnership between GH and NLF helps GH fulfill
their community outreach and health screening objectives. This is a great
partnership between Lions and Group Health.
The Washington Legislator
has changed the WAC laws so using the new sight screening devices manned by
volunteers meets the school requirements.
New schedule comes out next
week. We are still looking a part time fill in driver.
Club Cost is $340 for both ears.
I have reported to some the cost to the club was $340 per ear. That is not
correct.
Patient Care Grants
Still Available
