Earlier this week lots of suitable children's toys, socks, and more were donated to East Tennessee Childrens Hospital so that time in the hospital might be a little less difficult for area youngsters.
Tri-County Lions members Richard and Peggy Russell met with the hospital's Volunteer Services representative Teresa Wessel to present the large quantity of items. Tri-County Lions President Connie Emmons was also on hand, and contributed this photo!
Tri-County Lions once again participated in the "On My Own" program offered by UT Extension in partnership with Sevier County Schools and in cooperation with numerous community agencies.
On My Own is a banking and financial planning simulated learning experience for school children; today's volunteers worked with more than 150 8th graders at Pigeon Forge Middle School. The learning stations were set up around the track at the school, and groups of students rotated among the stations.

The Eyeglass Recycling team of District 12-N (East Tennessee) Lions is hosting a collection day on Saturday, May 14, 2002 from 9:00am - noon at the Lions Volunteer Blind Industries office at 108 Kwickway Lane, Johnson City, TN. Knoxville Tri-County Lions will be taking a truckload of used eyeglasses that have been collected. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, we have continued to collect eyeglasses from multiple locations around Seymour. Thanks for all your support in this ongoing Lions project...and thanks to the Lions who have sorted and stored the eyeglasses during this time.
