Lions,
Last year two service projects were introduced district wide and added to our already existing project, recycling eyeglasses. Several Lions have reached out asking if these projects are continuing and the answer is yes.
The pull tabs, to benefit the Ronald McDonald House, can be given to Lion Dave Davis of the Ridgely Lions Club or brought to the next cabinet meeting.
At the August cabinet meeting, $500 dollars was budgeted for clubs collecting empty pill bottles for Matthew 25 Ministries, a nonprofit that includes the bottles in shipments to 3rd world countries. Club collecting pill bottles should ship their bottles directly to Matthew Ministries, and then turn in their shipping expenses to the district for reimbursement. The last box I sent cost about $19.00.
Information about all district wide projects, including the Matthew 25 Ministries website and how to pack the bottles can be found at 22blions.org under the District Projects tab.
