Ohio State School for the Blind Band
There is still time to get in your donations for the School for the Blind Marching Band! Students are looking forward to traveling to Boston to march with the Lions at the International Parade. We are over half way to our fundraising goal. Even a small donation is much appreciated by these students. Donations should be made directly to the Ohio Lions, Inc. with “Band” on the memo line. Send to Ohio Lions, Inc. 4074 Hoover Rd, Grove City, OH 43123.

Diabetes Mission: Healthy Communities
Get your club involved with our district Diabetes Awareness Week. Some dates to watch for are:
- District Strides Walk for Diabetes = May 2023
- World Diabetes Day = November 14th
For ideas to participate, check out the information in the district newsletters. Maybe your club is ambitious enough to create a public display, like a field of pinwheels or on a local sign? Volunteer with the Red Cross, pass out diabetes flyers, share online surveys, or set up a health screening. EVERY club can participate!
Check out this video from our District Diabetes chairmen for great information.
