Lion President Jim Shaw Presents Gift
Senior at Kentucky School for the Blind Receives Gift from Middletown Lions Club for Holocaust Class Project
Senior Bradley Horton takes part of his classes at KSB and the other part at Central High School Magnet Career Academy in Louisville. In one of his Central classes, he and his classmates are studying about the holocaust. In March, they will travel to Washington, DC to visit the Holocaust Museum for further study.
The students are responsible for raising a portion of the funding for the trip. In a letter to the Middletown Lions Club, Horton detailed the class project and requested funding to aid him on the trip. According to the club’s president Jim Shaw, Horton wrote a wonderful letter articulating his studies and the need for funding.
On Wednesday, Dec. 7, Shaw presented $300 from the Middletown Lions Club to Central to help with the trip. Horton accepted the gift during a presentation at KSB.
Lions/Green Team plant Trees at Klondike Elementary
- Lion/Green Team from Klondike Elementary School
- 4th Grade Team
When I said yes to my daughter, Carrie Hellmann to help with her 4th and 5th grade club I, Lion Kay Mills, didn’t know how much fun I would have. I have been a Lion for let’s say as long as females could be a Lion and as a PDG wife, past president, region chair, etc. have known how to run a club. But this was too cool.
We are running the Lions Green Team just like a club, opening the meeting once a week. The kids have decided to take on several projects. The 4th grade is collecting used eye glasses and their box is getting full. The 5th grade is collecting used shoes for Edge Outreach that provides clean water to developing countries.
When the Lions Green Team 4thand 5th grade classes of Klondike Elementary School, Louisville, Kentucky saw the Lions International video and Lion President Tam asking Lions to plant one million trees they were so excited. So we made plans to do this as part of our green team. And the 4th grade received a donated tree from a nursery while the 5th grade was given a tree by the Middletown Lions Club.
Lions International was so helpful to us in this project through the internet (kids love the internet) with suggested topics, brochures with an entire kit of supplies. We used “Why Trees”, Planning Guide, Call to Action Guide, and resources such as the “I Planted a Tree” button, certificates and love the map on line to keep up with number of trees planted. And we watched LQ (Lions Quarterly) about things we were interested in such as eye glass collection and planting a tree. We are happy to add 2 more trees.
Middletown Lion Kay Mills Awarded Honors
Middletown, KY Lion Kay Mills was awarded the “Star of Stars Vision Conservationist Award” on 6-10-11 at the KY vs. IN High School All Stars game at “Knights Hall” on the campus of Bellarmine University. This award was given to her for her tireless work over 27 years to enhance the Game as a chief KLEF Fundraiser. Her commitment to every task large or small has resulted in thousands of dollars generated for the work of the Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation. Helen Keller asked the Lions to become Knights of the Blind in 1925. What an appropriate place to receive this award. Congratulations Lion Kay
