Lions club gives $30,000 in grants and scholarships BY AUDREY BLACKWELL STAFF WRITER

On June 4, representatives from many local nonprofit organizations and a Venice High School student received monetary awards totaling $30,000 from the Venice Lions Club. The awards were handed out during a dinner party and evening of “Lionism” at Venice Regional Medical Center. Awards went to Bear Ladies, Friends of Jacaranda Library, Lions Conklin Center, Florida Council of the Blind, Florida Lions Camp, Lions Eye Institute, Friends of Venice Public Library, Project Graduation, Warehouse of Venice, Southeastern Guide Dogs, Our Mother’s House in Venice and InStride Therapy. Venice High School student Aaron Turner received a scholarship. Present for the event was Corki, a retired seeing-eye dog from Southeastern Guide Dogs. “The Lions Clubs of Venice-Nokomis-Englewood has a large footprint in the area it serves,” said Barbara McGillicuddy, president. It reaches from Blackburn Point Road to the north, Boca Grande to the south, Myakka River to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west.

History The Venice Lions Club began in 1947 with 29 members, and the VLC Foundation started in 1985. In 1994, the Lions Club Vision Center opened at the Venice Regional Medical Center HealthPark at Jacaranda Boulevard and Center Road. The Vision Center helps about 40 patients a month, based on income guidelines established by the Alfred G. and Ingeborg Keerl fund, which is designed to help those within the boundaries outlined. Those seen for vision screenings are also eli- gible to undergo hearing tests and assistance. The Lions Club started in the United States when Melvin SUN PHOTOS BY AUDREY BLACKWELL Jones, a Chicago business leader, and his group wanted to do more Above right, Barbara McGillicuddy, president of Venice Lions Club, than they were doing in 1917 and sits at the Aladdin Classic Telesensory Company’s magnification system at Venice Public Library, a tool to help those with impaired vision be able to read.
