YOUR HELP IS NEEDED


The recent winter storms have devastated our local mountains with snow. This is causing residents to not be able to leave their homes and to be in need of food and basic supplies.


Lions Roger & Linda Mahaffey will be making a run to the Jurupa Lions Clubhouse with much needed toilet paper and both basic & female hygiene supplies


We are collecting funds to assist with this purchase and to send funds to the Jurupa Lions of District 4L5 to purchase much needed food and supplies to aid the communities of the San Bernardino County Mountains


We are asking for Lions and Clubs to donate funds to assist with this hands in service project and help a community in need. Where there is a need there is a LION!!


If you will be sending funds please let us know ASAP so we can let them know aid is coming. Checks should be payable to District 4L4 and sent to our District Treasurer Lion Diane Quinlan or you can pay via Zelle.


Email for Zelle is [email protected]


Mail checks to

9206 La Paloma Ave

Fountain Valley, CA 92708


For more information contact Second VDG Lion Scott Quinlan 714-200-3964, as he is in touch daily with the Lions of Jurupa and will have the most current information.


They are also looking for limited volunteers to help with staging the food and other supplies and to load the cars going up the mountain.


Again please contact 2nd VDG Scott with any questions!

Ronald McDonald House


HOW YOUR CLUB CAN HELP RONALD MC DONALD HOUSE

The House is still under construction (and currently housing families in a hotel) but there are still opportunities to support the house.

They are in need of many items including gift cards to offer to the families. Please see the attached Wish List.

They are also looking for clubs to fill snack bags for the families to offer convenient items to snack on while they are in the hotel. Please see the attached Snack Bag Flyer.

There is also the opportunity for clubs to bring a family style, catered meal to the hotel on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays.

And you can keep collecting your pull tabs. The House is not currently accepting pull tabs so please hold on to them for now. Or they may also be donated to another House location.

EZSR

EZ Service Report for 4L4

We are excited to roll out our NEW and EASY way that ANYONE can report service projects in your clubs! The new tool is called EZSR which means Easy Service Reports. Any Lion can go

to the EZSR link and report the service project details including name, date and number of people and hours served. Any projects reported to EZSR will be credited directly to your club,

no need for your club Secretary or Administrator to report to MyLion, it’s already done! Please share the link and scan code to all of your club service project chairs and members to ensure

your service gets COUNTED! We will share printed promotional items at our first District meeting on August 6 so you can promote this new tool! Let’s work together to meet our district

goal of 100% reporting in 4L4! Together We Can!

Cathy currently has certificates available for both adult and students.

CALIFORNIA LIONS FREINDS IN SIGHT

RESTORING VISION - PREVENTING BLINDNESS.

Together, We Make Tomorrow Look Better


JOIN THE DISTRICT 4L4 VISION SCREENING TEAM



WHO ARE FRIENDS IN SIGHT


Friends in Sight educates, restores vision, and prevents blindness for many thousands of people who can’t afford eyeglasses or a doctor visit. Affiliated with Lions Clubs International, we are a stand-alone 501c3

charitable organization headquartered in Beaumont, CA. With financial support from generous Lions and others, Friends in Sight carries out its mission by providing free vision screenings and free recycled eyeglasses to disadvantaged individuals throughout Southern California and Northern Mexico.


Together with Lions volunteers, Friends in Sight conducts more than 30 doctor-led vision screenings each year. Each event is “hosted” by a local Lions Club, who provides the location, event marketing, and club volunteers to assist the Friends in Sight team.


HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED


Join the District Team! To enhance the volunteering experience, Friends in Sight has created a “District 4-L4 Team” comprised of Lions from multiple clubs throughout our District. District Team members are trained in the area or areas of choice to become an experienced provider of vision screening services at 4 or 5 events a year.



HOW DO I GET TRAINED


To sign up for training contact the District Vision Screening Coordinator, Pat Dundas. You will be scheduled to train at the next 4-L4 vision screening or if you choose at an earlier event on the current calendar

https://clfis.info/events/ . At the event, you can choose to be trained to handle registration, operate the automated eye exam instruments, assist eye doctors, search the computer eyeglass database, help with

eyeglass inventory management, or assist patients in selecting their eyeglasses.


WHERE WILL I BE VOLUNTEERING


District 4-L4 Vision Screening Team members are asked to participate, as best they can, at each District event; about one every three months. Team members can do even more by volunteering outside the District, including weekend events in Mexico.


2023 District Schedule

Sat., March 11, Santa Ana

Sat., May 20, Pomona

Sat., September 9, La Habra

Sat., November 4, Ontario
