Lion Steve Rehmann reported that our FD resident requiring special eye implants got the quote on her first lens. The cost that we are needing to send ASAP is $1734, there was a $250 RUSH ORDER fee that the lens maker is waving. It was discussed at the meeting and Lion Steve is going to set up a wire transfer with the lens manufacturer. If they are not able to accept wire transfer, it was agreed that Lion Steve would make the payment via personal credit card and be re-imbursed by the club. Thank You Lion Steve
A question was brought up as to Ragbrai and whether Lion Jim Gill had gotten any further information, and as of yet, there is none.
Lion President Randy Thanked Lions Doug K and Steve R for helping to organize the storage room. It is getting better.
Lion President Randy announced that outgoing District Governor Roger Curtis will be our Guest Speaker at our meeting on June 9th.
Lion of the Year and Induction of New Officers will take place at the June 30th Regular Business Meeting
If I missed any of the notes, I apologize, but I believe this is fairly accurate.

NO SPECIAL PROGRAM THIS WEEK
|
|
Special Guest Program:
Our program today was informational about Friendship Haven here in Fort Dodge.
Rollie Peterson
Vice President Residential Life/Corporate Compliance Officer
and
Kim Schilling
VP Health Services
reported on the effect and special circumstances that had to be put into place because of Covid-19 at Friendship Haven during the past year. Due to the policies that were put into place at the facility very few cases of Covid-19 were encountered. In fact they learned that, as much as they hate them too, masks did do their job in protecting EVERYONE at the campus.
They were also happy to announce that the facility is once again OPEN to the public albeit with some restrictions such as (Masks are still required when on campus, temperatures are taken of all entering the campus).
An interesting piece of information that was shared is that the Wellness Center including pool and weight rooms are open on a membership basis to any adult in the area over age 55.
If you have never been on the Friendship Haven campus, give them a call at the Welcome Center and set up a tour of the campus. It is a really impressive place.

Lions Clubs International is the largest service club organization in the world.
We have more than 1.4 million members in more than 46,000 clubs worldwide.
Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and
raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward the goal of providing vision for all. Through the support of the
Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), Lions have helped provide more than 153 million treatments for river
blindness and 72 million doses of a sight-saving trachoma medication through the SightFirst program alongside
our partners. Lions and LCIF have also helped provide vision screenings for more than 22 million children through
the Sight for Kids partnership program./p>
Where there’s a need, there’s a Lion.
For every incredible Lions service project, there are hundreds more just like it—filled with kind-hearted individuals volunteering their time to better our communities. Lions represent the best in all of us. Being part of a Lions club means having the opportunity to do something truly special: selflessly serve others.
