Details of Chestertown Lions Club Drive for Sight Program

Posted on December 7, 2019 by King Lion Rick Coffman

Fellow Lions,

One of the major challenges of Kent County is the lack of adequate public transportation. To help alleviate this problem, the Chestertown Lions Club implemented a service project several years ago to support local residents in need of transportation to their eye doctor. The program provides free transportation to and from the eye doctor. This project has been very successful thanks to Chairman Henry Hart and his committee for distributing information about the program and responding to calls for transportation.

In an effort to make this free transportation service available to more Kent County residents, Chairman Hart has documented the program in detail to show all of the Club members how easy it is to become a driver and hopes to involve other Lions Clubs.

Please take a look at details attached of the Drive for Sight Program and the Need a Free Ride To And From Your Eye Doctor Appointment Form. If you would like to become a driver please let Chairman Hart or me know.

When there is a need, Lions are there. Thanks, Lion Henry Hart!!

Annual Fall Shotgun Raffle

Posted on November 12, 2019 by King Lion Rick Coffman

Fellow Lions,

Under the leadership of Chair Fred Sherriff, the Annual Shotgun Raffle is one of the Lions Club major fundraisers. This year, we added 500 tickets for a total of 5,000. To sell all of these tickets we need everyone to serve multiple times, and remember you have to ask for the order, not wait for them to come to you. Chair Fred does a great job of organizing and coordinating 5 sales teams which sell most weekends starting in September and ending in December.

Most weekends, Lions can be seen selling tickets at Molly’s, JBK’s, The Mill in Kingstown, and the Farmers Market. We will have to work hard to make this year’s target. If you could help again let Chair Fred know.

Photos from the sales team at Molly’s and JBK.

Thanks for all you do.

Chestertown Lions Fight Diabetes

Posted on November 12, 2019 by King Lion Rick Coffman

Fellow Lions,

Saturday morning, November 9, 2019, the Chestertown Lions Club was joined by Chrissy Nelson, Diabetes Nurse Educator with UM Shore Regional Health, at the Farmers Market to increase diabetes awareness. Information about diabetes was available as well as a diabetes risk self-assessment questionnaire. The Lions Club was well represented by Lion Bill Low, John Paolella, Larry Lyons, Glenn Owens, and KL Rick Coffman.

Lions International has identified diabetes as one of Lions Five Global Causes.

Lions can be seen each week at the Farmers Market selling raffle tickets for our annual Shotgun Raffle to raise funds to support the many services provided to the community.

I wish to thank Chrissy Nelson and all of the Lions that participated to make this event a success.

Posted on November 4, 2019 by King Lion Rick Coffman

Fellow Lions,

The Chestertown Lions Club supports the LVRF and attended the District 22-B Fifteenth Annual Lions Vision Research Foundation Banquet held Friday, November 1, 2019, at the Greensboro VDF Community Hall. The program was inspiring; we heard from Dr. Robert Chun regarding the activities within the Low Vision Division of the Wilmer Eye Institue and Dwayne H. Adams, Sr. a patient which shared his story of how the Wilmer Eye Institute changed his life after a terrible accident left him completely blind in the left eye and with only partial vision in the right, as well as no sense of smell.

The Chestertown Lions Club was represented by KL Rick Coffman, 1stVDG Wayne Benjamin, Lions James Sanders, Fred Sherriff, and Matt Kempel. A check for $500 was presented to PDG Wayne Cole by KL Rick Coffman.
