The Daleville-Fincastle Lions Club has conducted vision screening in all of the Botetourt County schools except for two (that elected to do it themselves).  The Lions discovered students with potential vision problems and their Spot screeners printed results for those students. Recommendations were made for complete eye exams and a promise that if the family needed financial assistance, the Lions would do their best to secure as much help as possible.

In the October regular meeting, the Lions met at The Glebe and were thrilled to see that their $250 donation to Hope to Walk in Blacksburg had been enough to purchase a leg for a lady in Columbia. Using basic materials, the organization creates custom-fitting legs and sends them around the world.  The lady who received a leg from the Lions had never been able to walk on her own– but now she can.

Another ongoing service project involves the Botetourt Food Pantry. Karen Beasley spoke to the club about the 40-year-old organization that is based in the St. Mark’s Ministry Center (lower level) at the corner of Roanoke and Herndon Street in Fincastle.  The Lions serve there as volunteers on the fourth Saturday of every month. Clients stay in their cars and volunteers take the food to them.  Approximately 185 families are served monthly, about 600 people. Families that feel they need assistance can call St. Mark’s Episcopal Church (540-473-2370) for information.

Helping the community by “cleaning up” Catawba Road in conjunction with Adopt-a-Highway, Lions met November 13 to work their stretch of highway. Volunteers for that day’s adventure included Rich Boone, Keith Hartman, Scott Johnston, Maverick Johnston, and Lowell Skelton.
