Great news from MDA in regards to hearing and the Helen Keller Award. For the past 2 years, Lion Margo Oleskiw has been requesting that the clubs be able to contribute to a Helen Keller Award over a few years, rather than a one time donation. After all this time, the Board of Directors of the Lions Home for Deaf People has passed that clubs will be able to donate $200.00 per year for 3 years to put towards a Helen Keller Fellowship. It must be clearly indicated with the donation that they want to have an award after the 3 years. It is thanks to our Lion Margo that this is finally a reality. This will be a big help for smaller clubs in our district that do not have much in the way of administrative funds but still want to honour a club member. Way to go Lion Margo. We are so proud to have you as a member of District A5.
