Adam Morgan from Hempstead is our recipient to receive our first Dubuque Noon Lions $500 scholarship. Adam graduated with a 3.877 grade point average and ranked 71 out of 406. Dubuque Noon Lions are very proud of all the achievements that Adam obtained.
The Dubuque Noon Lions have been involved in the KidSight Program partnership with the University of Iowa, Department of Ophthalmology. The KidSight Program offered free screening to children 6 months - 5 years of age in the daycares, head start and preschools in the Dubuque area. Year to date the Dubuque Noon Lions Club screened over 16,000 children and 5% were referred to an eye care professional. For more information regarding KidSight, contact Karin Stephenson at: stephensonkarin@yahoo.com .

The Dubuque Noon Lions Club provided Collection Centers to gather used and old eyeglasses and hearing aids. These Collection Boxes are at two of the Hy-Vee Stores in Dubuque, Iowa. The first one is located left of the Pharmacy Entrance in Asbury and the second one is on Locust Street left of the Main Entrance. The eyeglasses and hearing aids collected will be transport to the Lions Eye Glass Recycling and Hearing Aid Center to be reworked and then provided to those in need. From year to date the Dubuque Noon Lions Club collected over 75,000 pairs of eyeglasses and 450 pairs of hearing aids with your help.
A BIG THANK-YOU TO ALL from the Dubuque Noon Lions Club.
