with Stanley Lions president David Jankoski

Besides what the Stanley Lions do locally, they also have an impact on what happens on the state, national and international levels. At the state level, the first and foremost support is provided to Camp Rosholt, which provides a safe environment for 125 campers per week. The camp serves people with intellectual, emotional and medical challenges. Also on a state level, we collect used eyeglasses, which in turn are sorted, cleaned and then made available to missions around the world. This past year there was a mission to serve Afghan refugees housed at Camp McCoy, where 5,000 eye screenings were done and 1,300 pairs of glasses were provided to those needing them. Since 1953, the Wisconsin Lions Eye Bank has been doing cornea transplant surgery with the goal of improving the quality of life through the precious gift of sight. These provide a glimpse of how the Stanley Lions serve on the state level. Please consider joining these euorts in serving your fellow man.
