 A recent tornado outbreak in the U.S. killed at least
280 people, left thousands homeless and caused millions of dollars in
damage. As always, our members are bringing aid to the people
affected by this disaster. LCIF is mobilizing US$250,000 to fund
Lions' relief efforts in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi,
Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. LCIF also awarded
US$160,000 in emergency grants to affected districts. Local Lions
will use these funds to provide immediate relief supplies, including
food and water. Read blog post.

maximize the precious gift of sight. This popular film features
inspiring individuals of all ages sharing their stories about sight
loss due to glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration,
infection and accidents. We will host two showings of Going Blind on
July 5 and July 7. Both showings will take place from 3:30-5:00 p.m.
