LIONS ARE SUPORTING OUR SOLDIERS

On September 27th, 2014, the New York Financial District Lions Club members attended the Battery Park City Community Annual Event by volunteering during the event, and had the opportunity to introduce Lions to the community, and to asking the community to support the children of soldiers and collected used eyeglasses.  

The FiDi Lions Club is fundraising in support to USO of Metropolitan New York, to benefit the children of military families in New York City whose parents are stationed at war zone.  It is an ongoing project of USO/LIONS “United Through Reading-Always at your Side”, that enables a child to receive a book DVD from the deployed parent reading to them while being videotaped.  USO mails the priceless book and the DVD of the parent reading to their child.  Ten dollars ensures a book and a DVD for a child to connect with the parent who is deployed.
