| Lions work to improve the world, one community at a time |

| Club projects: Highway times per year. Our club was the first entity to participate in the "adopt a highway program." Early Childhood Vision Screening-- A joint project with the Frontier and Noon Lions. Preschool children are screened using a special stereo polariod camera. Eye care professional can screen for a variety of early childhood vision problems such as amblyopia by reviewing the photos. This important project helps identify problems that may be corrected in early childhood, but if undetected until later are incurable. Ride for Sight -- The 15th annual Ride for Sight is our major fund raiser for the year. The second Sunday in August (August 10, 2008) is the date for our 100 mile supported bike ride. Our major co-sponsor is Saturn of Cheyenne. We provide four rest stops for a fifty mile out and back route over the prairie of southeast Wyoming. As many as 175 riders from all over the state and the region participate in this event. Funds from riders and other sponsors provide funds for a variety of programs: Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute Foundation Alan H. Stewart Lions Camp Lions International Foundation Leader Dog Lions of Wyoming Foundation Assistance for local citizens needing help with treatment for hearing and vision disabilities. |
