Who are the Slidell Noon Lions?
The Slidell Noon Lions Club has serviced the Slidell community since our founding in 1928. Our club has remained active and continues to serve the well being and growth of our Slidell. Some of our activities include.
Louisiana Lions Camp
~ Support of the LA Lions Camp for Handicapped and Diabetic Youth. The Noon Lions sponsor handicapped and diabetic youths each year to attend the special Lions camp in Anococo, LA at no charge to campers. A great experience for these special kids.
Louisiana Lions Eye Foundation
The Louisiana Lions Eye Foundation takes part in several projects that help not only people in need of eye care assistance in our state, but across the world, including the Lions Eyeglass recycling Program, The Cubsight Program, our Low Vision program, and more.
Cub Sight
~ Screening the eyes of our youth. This past year club members screened the eyes of more than 1,300 pre-school age children in order to identify diseases and conditions of young children's eyes that may be correctable or treatable. This important service is provided at no expense to the families through the Cubsight Program of the Louisiana Lions Eye Foundation.
Vision Assistance Program
Following our meetings each Thursday the club interviews individuals that need glasses but can't afford them. We assist these individuals to apply for payment of these needed services by us and the LA Lions Eye Foundation.
Recycling of Eyeglasses
Our club collects thousands of pairs of used eyeglasses each year and sends them for cleaning and classification before being distributed throughout the world wherever eyeglasses are needed by those who cannot afford or otherwise obtain them.
Joining Forces to Fight Diabetes
Lions work with local community partners and national diabetes associations to promote diabetes education and awareness throughout the year. We also commemorate World Diabetes Day, an annual campaign led by the International Diabetes Federation on November 14.
~ Community Involvement. The Slidell Noon Lions Club participates and involves itself in many community activities such as the Keep Slidell Beautiful Program, Camellia City Market. We also make donations of cash or goods and volunteer many hours in support of worthy casuses within our community. We care--We Serve--We help.
