What is a Legacy Project?
A Legacy Project is a VISIBLE gift to your community.
A Level 1 project raises your visibility in the community.
It shines all year long where passerbys can see it and be reminded of just how important your club is to the community.
Examples of a Legacy Level 1:
donate a park bench where needed
post new Lion signs around town
maintain a town fountain
or, in this case, build some awesome collection boxes for eyeglasses!

The Soldotna Lions Club collects used eyeglasses to send to the Lions recycling center in North Pole, Alaska, The eyeglasses collection boxes located at the various locations throughout the community were deteriorated and needed to be replaced. The club's Vision Chair, Jewel Lee Martin, asked the club for approval to have a local high school students in a woodworking shop class, under the direction of their teacher, make new collection boxes out of wood. The club agreed to pay $300.00 to cover material cost and to engage the seven students and their teacher in the project. It took the class a month to make eight beautiful wood collection boxes.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Jewel Lee Martin, Soldotna Lions Vision Chair asked the students and teacher how the club could express thanks for the excellent work that they did with making the collection boxes and the students replied that they would love some pizza which Jewel Lee provided for them. #Lions100 Protecting Our Environment
