Mechanicsburg Lions Complete 1000 th Vision Screening!

The Mechanicsburg Lions Club completed two Vision Screening service events on Friday, May 3.   The vision screening events were conducted at the “Parents and Toddlers Day” at the Simpson Library and the “Literacy Under the Lights” program held at the Mechanicsburg Middle school.  In total, 80 screenings were performed and 16 were referred for further eye care.  Lions participating in these 2 events were Jim and Sue Miller, Bill and Shirley Dixon, and Chris and Cathy Stank.  A notable milestone was achieved at the “Literacy Under the Lights” event.  The Mechanicsburg Lions Club completed the 1000th vision screening!   Nora Garland, from Mechanicsburg, was at this event with her mother.  She had a successful vision screening and was our club’s 1000th person to receive this important service from the Mechanicsburg Lions Club.
The clubs first screening was April 3, 2017. Total of 129 recipients of vision screening referred for follow up eye care.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR CLUB MEMBERS FOR SUPPORTING THE KIDSIGHT PROGRAM!

 

 

 

The Mechanicsburg Lions continue supporting Earth Day Downtown Mechanicsburg by operating a large event table targeting kids.  The Lions secure paper grocery bags from Giant and Weis.  Those stopping by the display are encouraged to draw Earth Day focused pictures and write Earth Day messages on the bags.  The bags are temporarily displayed at the event and then collected and returned to the grocery stores.  Customers who get their groceries in paper bags get a surprise Earth Day message!   9 Mechanicsburg Lions Club members participated in this FUN event were:  Lions Chris and Cathy, Jim and Sue, CeCe, Bob, Tawyna, Bill and Shirley. 

 

"Lion Tom Kerstetter was a Mechanicsburg Lion for almost 9 years. He was very active at the beginning of his time in the club & was elected to the post of 2nd Vice President. He planned to be our King Lion, but due to health reasons, he had to back out. Lion Tom can be credited with starting our first Club Website and managing it for a few years. Thanks for your service to our country and to Lions. Rest in Peace Lion Tom."

 

2019 Open House

 

The Mechanicsburg Lions club had 6 members participate in the annual wrapping of seedlings project that supports Earth Day week.  This Environmental project, that the Lions Club has supported for several years, wraps 5000 seedlings for distribution to elementary schools.  Participating this year from the club were Lions: CeCe, Dona, Jim and Sue, and Chris and Cathy.

 

Three Lion volunteers assisted “Pink Hands of Hope” with their annual inventory changeover.  In addition, a quilt made by Lion Cathy, was donated for their fund raising auction.  The participating Lions were Lion CeCe, Lion Dona, and Lion Cathy.  ‘Pink Hands of Hope” is an organization that assists women who are “in the fight” against cancer.

For the 3rd year in a row, the Mechanicsburg Lions Club provided free vision screenings for the children who were registering for kindergarten at the Mechanicsburg School District’s Kindergarten Academy.  The screening covered 3 days of registration April 8 - April 10.  This important community service event, focused on our VISION category, was led by Lion Jim Miller.  Working the Eye screenings were the following:  Lion Leroy, Lion CeCe, Lion Erica, Lion Becky, Lion Terry, Lion Dianne, Lion Jim, Lion Sue, Lion Bill, Lion Steve, Lion Cathy and Lion Chris.  The Lions completed vision screenings on 264 children.  34 of those scanned were referred for follow up eye care.  The Lions also completed vision screenings on 11 adults at this event.  4 of the adults were referred for follow up eye care.

 

Raymond “Ray” Charles Rosnick, age 87, of Mechanicsburg, PA and a Proud Lion with 54 years of Service to the community, passed away suddenly March 11, 2019.

Ray’s service included multiple terms as Mechanicsburg Lions Club President and over 35 years as Club Secretary.  Lion Ray was the recipient of many awards including the rarely awarded Progressive Melvin Jones Fellowship and he was one of only six people in Pennsylvania to receive the John R. Crone Fellowship.  Lion Ray has also been recognized for his laudable 24 years of service as a board member of the Lions Hearing Research Foundation with 21 of those years spent serving as the board’s secretary.  Lion Ray truly exemplified the mission of Lionism which is, “Lions serve…to improve their communities, and the world.”  Our Lions Club, the community and the world are certainly better places because of Lion Ray.

The Mechanicsburg Lions Club is actively servicing the community with Vision Screening programs. The club estimates that they will scan their 1000th child in 2019.

After performing a scanning program at the Mechanicsburg School Districts “Literacy under the Lights” program, the club received some inspirational feedback from the Teacher who was in charge of the program.

The story is that one of their schools families was screened and it was recommended that their little girl see an eye doctor. The family was not sure where to go, so they contacted the school nurse. The child was then seen by a pediatrician who recommended an eye screening and helped get the family into Hershey. Hershey then referred the child to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and it was there that the little girl had surgery to correct her eye. The teacher said she believed there was a reattachment performed. The teacher noted it was through the initial Lions Club screening that the parents were made aware of any problems.
