Candy Day Helps Lions Help SECTION 2 - PAGE 3 • PLAINDEALER • WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 10.1»7» CANDY DAY MONEY TO HELP HANDICAPPED On Saturday, Oct. IS people will add special hats and aprons to their wardrobes, grab a canister and some candy rolls, and go to work. « They are the Lions and volunteers who will be busy all over the state collecting money on Lions Clubs of Illinois Candy Day for Humanitarian Ser­ vices, in hopes of raising more than $1,000,000 to help the blind, visually handicapped, deaf, and hearing imi One of McHenry day will be the Club, with the over by Lions Dennis Swedo, 1919 N. Lakewood avenue, Candy Day chairman for the McHenry Lions club. "Our day is not just another fund-raiser," he said. "The Lions movement is the largest men's service organization in the world, and, here in Illinois, it is the largest in the state, with some 30,000 members in 650 clubs." He added that he wanted to be. sure that local residents understand all the good things that are done with money raised during Candy Day. "The local clubs can retain up to 40 percent of the Candy Day funds for use in local h u m a n i t a r i a n s e r v i c e projects," he said. "Then, 60 percent or more of the funds goes to the LIONS of Illinois Foundation, a non-profit organization that is the charitable arm of the state Lions." The Foundation directs . Candy Day for the local clubs, furnishing a variety of Southern Illinois children at­ tend Camp Lions "Little Giant," near Carbondale. * The camps are specialized only in that counselors are specially trained and facilities are arranged with the needs of blind and deaf children in mind. Campers, however, enjoy the same activities as other children who attend other camps; swimming, boating, baseball, crafts, talent shows, cookouts, and special events. Some children at Little Giant even become accomplished at rapelling--an activity that builds confidence and self assurance. Eye Doner Registry To meet a need for a critical supply of eye tissue in Illinois, the Lions of Illinois Foundation and the Illinois Lions Clubs began an Eye Doner Registry program in 1974. The need was there-lines are long for people needing corneal transplants. Researchers needed eye tissue to explore causes and cures of blindness. After all, of 30,000 Americans who go blind annually, 80 per cent occur for reasons still unknown to medical science. To 45,000 Illinois residents, the Mobile Glaucoma Screening unit run by the Lions of Illinois foundation is the first line of defense against blind­ ness. The unit is a large van that travels the state giving free screening for visual acuity, glaucoma, diabetes, and hypertension. Glaucoma is the sneak thief of sight. It is a disease marked by increase in pressure of the fluid whin the eyeball damaging sight to the point of blindness, if untreated. Diabetes is also a disease that can lead' to blindness. The unit began screening in October, 1969. Hypertension and diabetes were added to the test list in January, 1977. Standards for testing* were designed by the University of Illinois Department of Ophthalmology and the A m e r i c a n D i a b e t e s association. „ Since its inception, the unit has screened almost 353,000 persons. A full-time audiologist and audiological technician travel Illinois in a Mobile Hearing unit, giving free hearing screenings to the people of Illinois. The unit began its travels in January, 1978, but was sidetracked for awhile at the end of 1978 due to a traffic accident. While repairs were being made, the audiologist drove a station wagon to all the screening sites after loading audiometric equipment in the back. At the site, Lions met the wagon to help move the equipment into the building to be used for the screenings. The regular van now is back in operation. Under the hearing program at the foundation, a hearing aid bank also has been formed. Almost 300 used hearing aids have been donated. Hearing aids worth reconditioning are fixed and then redistributed to people who couldn't otherwise afford them. Hearing aids that can't be reconditioned are used for spare parts and salvage. materials and coordinating the state wide effort. Social Services and Referral A Lions club in southern Illinois calls the foundation Sunnyside Area Betty Messer 344-2494 office. A child in the com­ munity suffered an eye injury in a sandlot baseball game. He needs immediate surgery, but the family cannot afford it. Arrangements are made for the child to have free surgery at the University of Illinois medical center in Chicago. The club borrows $1,000 from the Lions of Illinois Foundation Emergency fund, a revloving loan source. With the money, the club will provide tran­ sportation to Chicago and lodging for the family so that they can be with the child. Later, the Club will hold a fund- raising event to repay the fund, which provides emergency money for a variety of worth­ while purposed for the 650 Lions clubs in Illinois. Besides aiding clubs with requests, the Social Services and Referral department also helps individual blind, visually handicapped, deaf and hearing impaired persons who have special requests or questions. For some persons, it is as simple a matter as furnishing a free white cane, or brailler, or tape recorder. For others, it is coordinating their special needs with a variety of specialized agencies all over the nation. The largest number of requests are for free eye examinations or eyeglasses. Illinois Camp Lions Blind and deaf children are like any other children, except that they cannot see or hear. Recreational, educational, and social needs are met in Illinois through Illinois Camp Lions, a free camping program for handicapped children. Children from all over the State attend one of two specialized camps. Children from northern Illinois attend Camp Lions "Ravenswood," located on Hastings Lake. Lake Villa. Area Duo Hospitalized Friends of Ken Carlson and Ethel Jeffers wish them a speedy recovery. Ken is at the present time in the Hines VA hospital in Maywood for treatment.

Box 205 • Crystal Lako, Illinois 60014 •(815)459-264| By Kathleen Thayer We would like to share with you some of the wonderful responses we have received regarding our plea for financial support. One such response came from 5-year old Pam Morris of Crystal Lake who brought in a box of pennies totaling $1.50. This was an act of love. We are grateful that Pam is the kind of little girl she is and also that the Morrises have raised a warm, caring child. We received a very con­ cerned letter from a little boy in Cary, 9 year old Bobby Bacci, who wrote "One of these days, if we do not stop killing animals, they are going to attack the earth, because we kill them and make them mad...if we do not kill them, they will not have any reason to attack the earth, this is no joke. I have proved it myself. In just thirty more years they will attack the earth. P.S. Love to all animals." A special acknowledgment of the Equestrian 4-H club of Crystal Lake and Wendy Wiedenfeld, president, and Leah Gaul, chairman- coordinator, and of the donation made to HP of $120, which was collected at the bake sale at Montgomery Wards in Crystal Lake two Saturdays ago. WE don't have the names of those who donated baked good, but be it known to you that we are grateful, and also to those who bought the goodies to eat. Bon Apetite. At the last board meeting, it was decided that due to ex­ pense and an over-burdened public, we will not be sending a Christmas plea this year.
