This was our first time participating in JAFFL (Jacksonville Area Friends of Family Learning) Downtown Day of Discovery on the Square. We had a great time talking with families about the Lions Club, handing out information and bubbles to the kiddos. The highlight was our Butterfly backdrop that was painted by our own Lion Tom Atkins. We look forward to doing it again next year🦁⭐️

In our August 18th meeting we had guests from JACIL (Jacksonville Area Center For Independent Living). Angie and Brooklyn did an amazing job explaining their program and they are very passionate to those they serve. Attached are pictures from the meeting, Angie’s business card and a list of just some of the services they provide.

Last night Lions Chris Schumacher, Sarah Edmiston and Tamra Robinson took treats to Camp Lions East Bay Camp in Hudson, IL. This was their first time attending Camp Lions. This week is low vision and blind week. Also, last night was the talent contest. The campers and counselors were so excited to participate and watch all the amazing talent. Several girls were going to be the Schuyler Sisters from the Broadway musical Hamilton, one counselor was going to be Donkey from Shrek, and several other campers were going to sing. The appreciation and excitement on all of their faces warmed our hearts. We were given a tour of the camp site. Most of these campers never participated in rock climbing, swimming, etc.

We want to thank our community, club and everyone who has donated, Invested, and participated in our fundraising events. If it wasn’t for all of you, Lions of Illinois Foundation would not be able to provide these fun services for these campers.
