We had thirteen participants from the Damascus Lions Club go down to the NBC4 Health & Fitness Expo at the Washington Convention Center on Saturday morning, January 14, 2012.
Despite Metro’s tartness, we arrived to find the LCOF Vision and Hearing Bus in full swing in testing vision, hearing and pre-school screening.
Two of our members Lion Gary Rogers and Lion Mike Thornett are trained for the pre-school screening and during our time slot, 9 children under the age of 6 were tested.
Our other members worked at various stations including eye testing, hearing testing; sign in table and pre-school sign in table and those that worked at directing people to the various stations; and those that answered any questions from the general public.
Lion Tony Barry brought our Lion’s costume and Lion Charlie Hertel dressed in the costume and had a wonderful time walking around the convention center greeting people; as in all our costume appearances; the younger our audience the greater the interaction; which is thrilling to watch and experience and great exposure for our Lions organization.
I wish to thank all those that attended: Mary Frances Gosnell, Gary Rogers, Mike Thornett, Barbara Barry, Tony Barry, Victoria Barry, Ken Phillips, Chris Fletcher, Carol Stone, Charlie Stone, Charlie Hertel and Tammy Hertel. We had a great time and look forward to participating in the Health and Fitness Expo next January.
