News at the Hearing Committee

Other news at the hearing committee… We would like to welcome Jeff Garnett (Columbia Crest) & LR Smith (La Center) to the committee! It is great to have at least one representative from each of our Clark County Lions Clubs! A sincere thanks to the following clubs: Fort Vancouver, Vancouver, Hazel Dell, Battle Ground and Camas. Along with the local Lion‟s club and private party donations we have received donated funds for the fiscal year 2008-2009. Without your support we would not have been able to help the low-income hearing impaired persons in Southwest Washington. In February we received two applications and approved two devices, one for each applicant and made available a second device at cost should they want it. Our next meeting will be on March 3rd, 2009 at 7pm at the Washington State School for the Deaf. Hope to see you there!

I can’t tell you enough how grateful I am for the gift
you gave me.
You see in August 2008, I was a victim of domestic
violence. Then in November 2008, my employer
informed me that not being able to hear was effecting
his business and that I had until the end of
January to either purchase hearing aids or find another
job.
On my list of hopes for rebuilding my life was a
set of hearing aides. At the time, this seemed impossible
because of the costs involved, both financial
and emotional.
My domestic violence counselor has helped me
reach my emotional strength. You made it possible
for me to be blessed with hearing aids. For me, both
elements together equate to enormous strength.
More than this, my experience has been life changing
and I wanted you to know that you played a
major role in enabling me to continue on with my
life as a strong, productive, healthy individual.
I will never forget what you did for me and the
way you treated me with respect and kindness.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping
me reach what seemed to be an unattainable, life
-changing milestone…..
Sincerely, Leticia

Benefit Concert

This is our last major fund raiser for this fiscal year other than the fresh strawberries in May and June. To date, we have sold 14 ads and about 100 tickets. It would be great to sell out again this year and have our money benefit the blind community of Clark County.
Our major corporate sponsor this concert is “Ethos Salon” who has set aside Friday Feb 13th, as Fort Vancouver Day. Any person who makes an appointment for that day, will have 100% of the money spent donated to the concert.
In addition they are raffling off a Spa Day, valued at $250, the night of the concert.

Fort Vancouver Lions Reads to Children on Dr. Seuss’ Birthday

We will be helping Washington Elementary celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday on Tuesday February 10th 2009.
We will be reading to first graders and then each child will receive a book of their choice.
It is a fun time reading to the kids and it only takes about an hour. We will be starting at 1:00pm and finishing up at 1:45pm.
If you are Interested in helping please contact Helen Sutfin at 360-696-9162.
Also, as we are doing our yearly sorting of  ‘too much’ - think of the students at the school. Good, warm clothing, pencils, pens, small items that can be used as rewards, children videos, etc. These can be brought directly to the school or drop them with Helen Sutfin at one of our Friday luncheons. Thank you so much!
