Sandown Lions Ongoing Projects
VISON SCREENING:
The Sandown Lions work with TLC and Sandown North to screen children, using a non-invasive device to check student’s eyes for early vision concerns.
SCHOLARSHIPS:
The Sandown Lions support local students and offer a scholarship to high school seniors, for both college and trade educations.
LIONS CAMP PRIDE:
The Sandown Lions proudly support Lions Camp Pride, an accessible, special needs camp offering life changing programs for individuals of all abilities.
ROAD SIDE CLEANUP:
The Sandown Lions volunteer to host a cleanup along the roads of Sandown, collecting many bags of litter to help keep our town clean.
PLASTIC RECYCLING:
The Sandown Lions have collected plastic from Sandown Residents, having multiple eco-friendly Trex decking benches built. Our benches can be seen at the Rec Center and Camp Pride.
POW-MIA CHAIR OF HONOR:
The Lions Club raised the funds to participate in the POW/MIA CHAIR OF HONOR PROGRAM. The chair has been completed and staged at Sandown Town Hall. Thank you to all who contributed.
RECYCLE CAN TABS:
Shriners Hospitals for Children in Springfield and Boston have been collecting pull-tabs or “pop-tops” from beverage cans since 1989, recycling them, and putting the money toward programs that directly benefit children.
Since its inception, about a half-million pounds of aluminum tabs have been collected and recycled.
RECYCLE EYE GLASSES:
Eye glass collection boxes are at the post office, the library, town hall and the transfer station.
