The Lions Clubs of Amhearst County, Brookville Timberlake, Rustburg, and Lynchburg 7 Hills have assisted in a Lions Community Health Fair which will be held at the Templeton Senior Center in Lynchburg. The Lions Clubs are all part of District 24B, Region 1 Zone 1 and are doing it as a Zone Project.

Zone Chair, Lion Ray Mueller, says that this Health Fair started as a school Sight and Hearing screening event proposed by Lion Jackie Hadden, but quickly grew to more than 10 free screenings, and 20 exhibitors.

The screenings include Blood Glucose, Bone Density, Strength and Balance Evaluations, Foot Screenings, Blood Pressure, Pulmonary Evaluation, Sight and Hearing Screenings, and Free Flu shots to those on Medicare.

Lion Helen Mueller, the Chairperson for the event, says the the City Parks and Recreation Department will be providing bus transportation for City residents, and is expecting a turnout of 200 or more people to the event.

Lions from Amherst County, Brookville Timberlake, Rustburg, and Lynchburg Seven Hills will be there to help, along with District 24B District Governor Lion Janis Chenery.

Sight and Hearing Screenings in Lynchburg

The Brookville Timberlake Lions will be sponsoring Sight and Hearing Screenings at Brookville Middle School, and Sams Club on October 25. Lion Jackie Hadden, Chairperson, said that we expect to screen 200 children at the Middle School, and possibly 100 or more at Sams. The volunteers will be trained from 4p to 6p on October 24th at the Middle School Parking Lot. The Mobile Sight and Hearing Van is provided by Lions District 24C, and will also be used at the Lions Region I, Zone 1 Community Health Fair in Lynchburg.

How Do You Join Lions?

Lions Club Membership is by Invitation Only. If you know someone in a Lions Club, tell them that you are interested in becoming a member, and ask what should you do. The Lions Member should invite you to a dinner meeting of the Club, where you can meet the members, and have a free meal. If you are still interested in joining, your Lion friend will provide you with an application to be filled out. When the application is filled out, give it back to your Lion friend, and he will sponsor you as a member. The application is given to the Board of Directors for approval, and that's it. You will recieve Lions Orientation, and then be inducted into membership.
