Adel Lions Club is happy we could provide an ADM student with new glasses through our on-going funding account with the ADM school district. The program is available to all students who may not be able to afford needed eyecare. Good vision is critical to students' success. If you live in the ADM district and need help or know someone who does, don't hesitate to contact a school nurse or any Adel Lions Club member. WE SERVE!

At our last meeting we learned about the Crisis Intervention & Advocacy Center from Kacey Barrow-Miner and Johna Sullivan. Very interesting support available to our residents. Need help? Call them at the number listed or visit their website: www.supportingsurvivors.org.

We were honored to host Girl Scouts from Troups 468, 505, and 722 at our last meeting. They told us about their Education First Tour of Europe. In addition to the beautiful scenery, they showed us, they pointed out that they sure got a lot of ice cream at various stops.

The second part of their program was explaining the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards the girls are working on. Our future is bright with young folks like these girls. Thanks to all for your program and all you do for our communities.
