GLOUCESTER LIONS’ WHITE CANE DRIVE A SUCCESS
Tuesday, April 20, 2010
We would like to thank all who contributed to the Gloucester City Lions Club 22nd White Cane Drive in 2009. Approximately $3,057 was received from the drive. The Lions members supplied the funds necessary for printing and mailing.
The month of April is the kick-off for the 2010 23rd Annual White Cane Drive. The Gloucester City Lions Club continues a pledge to the citizens of Gloucester City and Brooklawn that 100 percent of the donations collected will be used to continue and community and sight programs of the Lions Club.
A project that the Gloucester City Lions Club continues is in the medical field. We have acquired medical appliances and are lending them to the Gloucester City and Brooklawn resident at no cost.
We have wheel chairs, electric hospital beds, walkers, canes, and portable commodes available for loan at the present time.
Jack Hughes, 456-5909, is in charge of this project. If you have any medical equipment you would like to donate to the Lions project, please call Lion Jack. It will be picked up, refurbished and made available at no cost to any resident.
Remember the Lions Club still collect eyeglasses. This project helps many sight impaired people. The glasses are shipped to North Jersey where they are sorted and sent to impoverished countries.
